"Honky Tonk Women" is a 1969 hit song by The Rolling Stones. Released as a single on 4 July 1969 in the United Kingdom and a week later in the United States.

Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics

I met a gin soaked, bar-room 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.

Its the honky tonk women

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

I laid a divorcee in new york city,

I had to put up some kind of a fight.

The lady then she covered me with roses,

She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

Its the honky tonk women

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(yeah!) it's the honky tonk women.

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

(yeah!) it's the honky tonk women.

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
