the rolling stones – honky tonk women (live 1982) lyrics
[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!
