Ricky Nelson - Honky Tonk Women lyrics

rate me

(M. Jagger, K. Richard)

I met a gypsy bar-room queen in Memphis

She tried to take me upstairs for a ride

She had to put me right across her shoulder

Now I can't seem to drink you off my mind.

She's a honky tonk woman

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

Sittin' in a bar, tippin' a jar in Jackson

And on the street, the summer sun did shine

There's many a bar-room queen I've had in Jackson

Now I can't seem to drink you off my mind.

She's a honky tonk woman

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

I played a divorcee in New York City

I had to put up some kind of a fight

The lady then all dressed me up in roses

She blew my nose, and then, she blew my mind.

She's a honky tonk woman

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

She's a honky tonk woman

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues.

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

Said give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues...
