[Verse 1]
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink it off my mind

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]
Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris
As naked as the day that I will die
The sailors, they're so charming there in Paris
But they just don't seem to sail you off my mind

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
