Honky Tonk Women Live 1982 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2012

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Alright, baby

[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 it off my mind

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Verse 3]
Strollin' on the boulevards of Paris
Naked as the day that I will die
The sailors, they're so charming there in Paris
But I just don't seem to sail you off my mind

[Outro]
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
Oh yeah!

[Audience Applause]

[Spoken Word: Mick Jagger]
Yeah!
