Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics

Albert King Honky Tonk Woman

I met a gypsy barroom queen in Memphis
An' on the street the summer sun did shine
The sweetest rose that ever grow in Memphis
I just can't seem to drink her off of my mind

She's a honky tonk woman
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorce in New York City
An' had to pick myself out of a fight
Ladies, they all covered me with roses
She blew my nose an' then she blew my mind

Well, she's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues

She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman
Gimme, gimme, gimme, the honky tonk blues
