Lyrics:
You silken bar-room ladies,
Dressed in your worldly pride
You've gotta ride that little black train
That's comin' in the night.
You silken bar-room ladies,
Dressed in your worldly pride
You've gotta ride that little black train
That's comin' in the night.
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
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcée 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
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
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
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I laid a divorcée 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
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
I tried to take her upstairs for a ride
I had to heave her right across my shoulder
I just don't seem to drink you off my mind
Honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris
As naked as the day that I will die
The sailors, they're so charming there in Paris
They just don't seem to sail you off my mind
It's a honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
You can find me in a dim light bar-+room
If your coldness should ever turn warm
But the chances of you ever changing
Are as slim as your two loving arms
So I'm turning off a memory
As quickly as time will allow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
And the wine seems to help me somehow
If he's lucky he'll someday forget her
When the wine finally takes full control
But that's not much of a future to look to
But I can't stand to see the pain in his soul
And he's turning off a memory
As quickly as time will allow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
And the wine seems to help me somehow
Yes, the wine seems to help somehow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
You can find me in a dim light bar-+room
If your coldness should ever turn warm
But the chances of you ever changing
Are as slim as your two loving arms
So I'm turning off a memory
As quickly as time will allow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
And the wine seems to help me somehow
If he's lucky he'll someday forget her
When the wine finally takes full control
But that's not much of a future to look to
But I can't stand to see the pain in his soul
And he's turning off a memory
As quickly as time will allow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
And the wine seems to help me somehow
Yes, the wine seems to help somehow
Yes, I'm turning off a memory
[Chorus]
While she's so sad, while Mr Right did her wrong,
I'll give her one more drink an' a few more songs.
In the bar-room haze, all alone, she sits.
Oh, she's about as lonely as I'm gonna let her get.
Oh, sittin' lonely at the bar tryin' to drown the past.
There's a job in honky tonk on the county line
I go to lose my sanity
Ain't no trouble at all, there's a sign on the wall
No guns, no profanity
And there's sweet Sue with a new tattoo
Wearin' them low cut jeans
Long legged babo is dancin' on the table
Slams like the poker machine
Here comes Billy, comin' down from the hill
Drivin' in a Coupe Deville, we're in bar room country
Bar room country, get in line
Bar room country, leave your troubles behind
Bar room country, come in and get right
Every night's a Saturday night here in bar room country
So if you find yourself out on the town
With a whole lotta nothin' to do
They got a band with a fiddle and a steel guitar
That plays 'til the quarter past two
You can sure get loud in a honky tonk crowd
And nobody seems to care
And if you get lucky you might find somethin'
You can't find anywhere
Everyone's invited, family and friends
Y'all get out and come on in the bar room country
Bar room country, get in line
Bar room country, leave your troubles behind
Bar room country, come in and get right
Every night's a Saturday night here in bar room country
Bar room country, come in and get right
God, every night's a Saturday night here in bar room country
I met a gin soaked bar-room man in Memphis
He tried to take me upstairs for a ride
He had to leave me right across his shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
Oooh
I,m a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk man
I laid a V.I.P in New York City
But I had to pull myself out of some kind of a fight
A bit later the man, he covered me with roses
Yeah
He blew my nose and then he blew my mind
Oooh
I,m a honky tonk women
Give me, give me, give me a honky tonk man
Oh give it to me now

Give me, give me, give me a honky tonk man

All about that john b. stetson hat.
Stack-a-lee walked to the bar-room, and he called for a glass of beer,
Turned around to billy lyons, said, "what are you doin' here?"

And melt the snow of dream river
(Dream river) River

Wake up and wake you too
First thing that I will do

Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
I slipped out of the house about sundown
While mama was a-washing her hair
And you can bet your bottom dollar
She'll come looking for me
When she finds that I'm not there
And if she catches her sweet thing
Out running around
I know there'll be the devil to pay
She'll come blowing like a cyclone
Through that door
And I can hear exactly what she'll say
Well has anybody here seen sweet thing
I got a notion he'll be headed this way
'Cause when my sweet thing's out
Tomcatting around
He finds a sandbox like this to play
I wanna tell all you bar-room hoses
If my sweet thing does have a bite
You'd better take my advice
And if you'll blink more than twice
You'd better have something in your eyes
I gave my baby all my money on payday
Except a little that she don't know that I got
'Cause there's a cute little waitress
At the corner cafe
And she likes those sugar boys quite a lot
While we were sitting in this back booth
A-having a talk
She was believing in every word that I said
When the door blew open and mama walked in
Yelling loud enough to wake the dead
