Billy Preston
Honkey Tonk Women (Live 1973)
[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
I just can't seem to drink it off my mind
[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Verse 2]
I laid a divorcee in New York City
I tried to put up some kind of a fight
The lady, she covered me with roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
[Chorus]
It's the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
C'mon let's do it
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
[Audience Applause]
