Honky Tonk Women (Live At University of Leeds / 1971) Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay, get your Leeds lungs out, because we want you to sing along with us on this one

[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 you off my mind

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

[Verse 2]
I laid a divorcee in New York City
I tried to put up some kind of a fight
The lady, when she covered me with roses
She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind

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

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


Thank you
