Honky Tonk Woman

Albert King · Les Incontournables [2001]

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
