I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
The lady had to heave me across her shoulder
But I just can't seem to drink her off my mind
She's a ho - - - -nky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky-tonk blues
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
Later, from a cover me in roses (haha)
She had to take me upstairs for a ride
But later she could totototnana (yeah)
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
(Oh)
