Honky Tonk Woman Songtext
von Joe Cocker

(One, one, one)
(Mad dogs and Englishmen and Mr. Joe Cocker)

(The mad dogs, the Englishmen and Joe Cocker)

I met a country raver down in Houston
She went and told me about something that I lacked
I said, "Baby, time that you went and put your fuse on"
She couldn′t smile and tells me where to sell my crack

It's the ho- honky-tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
Ho- honky-tonk women (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues

Told me that she′d really like to see me
Standing in the corner, standing all by myself
I said, "Baby, I got no time for your reasons"
All I wanna do is turn 'round and be myself


Ho- honky-tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
Ho- honky-tonk women (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues

She said she'd never leave me standing all by myself now
Always be there, there to find my hand
I′m in love, baby, with somebody else then
Always gonna send, send me away on the wing

Ho- honky-tonk women
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
Ho- honky-tonk women (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues
Ho- honky-tonk women (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Give me, give me, give me the honky-tonk blues

(Alright) Thanking you (yeah, man)
Yes lovely, man, lovely
Ah, this is uh, it′s Easter
Maybe I was living by the days
(No, I just gonna say, don't get hung up about Easter)
