The Rolling Stones on The Ed Sullivan Show -Love in Vain/ Honky Tonk Woman- 1969

. . Well I followed her, to the station With a suitcase in my hand Yeah, I followed her to the station With a suitcase in my hand Whoa, it’s hard to tell, it’s hard to tell When all your love’s in vain When the train, come in the station I looked her in the eye Well the train come in the station And I looked her in the eye Whoa, I felt so sad so lonesome That I could not help but cry When the train left the station It had two lights on behind Yeah, when the train left the station It had two lights on behind Whoa, the blue light was my baby And the red light was my mind All my love was in vain All my love’s in vain . . . 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
