Well I met a California girl in Memphis
And she tried to take me upstairs for a ride
And she had to hold me right across her shoulder
And I just can't seem to get her off of my mind
These honky tonk women gonna give me give give me the honky tonk blues
She's a honky tonk woman give me give give me the honky tonk blues

Well I later did the same in New York City
And I had to pull out of some kind of a fight
And the lady she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
Honky tonk women
And she had to hold me
She's a honky tonk woman
Honky tonk women
She's a honky tonk woman
