Performed by some of the Playing For Change collective (we introduced the movement awhile back), this is part of the Live Outside series – one band in one place at one time, as opposed to other global musical montages.

Keith Richards does participate in PFC, but, curiously, not on this song. Perhaps he doesn’t know how to play the tuba.

Lyrics

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 shoulder
‘Cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorcée 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
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It’s the honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
