Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics
And Acoustic Demo

Below you'll find the Honky Tonk Woman Lyrics and my full version demo of this classic rock song.

Keith Richards and Mick Jagger wrote this song in late 1968 and early 1969 as a country song in the flavor of Hank Williams and Jimmy Rodgers. It morphed into the rock classic it is today and peaked at #1 in the USA and UK when it was released in July of 1969.

--- Start Of Honky Tonk Woman ---

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 played 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.

It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

BREAK

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.
