Lyrics

Country Honk

[Intro]

Here we go

Yeah

Yeah-ha-ha

[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' in a bar, tippin' a jar in Jackson

And on the street, the summer sun, it shines

There's many a barroom queen I've had in Jackson

But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

[Chorus]

It's the honky tonk women

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

[Verse 2]

I laid a divorcee in New York City

I had to put up some kind of a fight

Woo! The lady, she all dressed me up in roses

She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind, whee!

[Chorus]

It's the honky tonk women

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

[Fiddle Solo]

Ah yes

Woo!

Alright

[Chorus]

It's the honky tonk women, yeah, yeah

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

All over

It's the honky tonk women, oh

Give me, give me, give me the honky tonk blues

Yeah
