What is Honky Tonk Women?
"Honky Tonk Women" is a 1969 hit song by The Rolling Stones. Released as a single on 4 July 1969 in the UK and a week later in the US, it topped the charts in both nations.
A Honky Tonk Woman is often a dancer in a bar down south, who may also work as a prostitute.
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 cant seem to drink you off my mind.
Its the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
