Honky Tonk Woman (Women) Aka Country Honk By THE ROLLING STONES (Cover) The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards while on holiday in Brazil from late December 1968 to early January 1969. Inspired by Brazilian gauchos at the ranch where Jagger and Richards were staying in Matão, São Paulo, the song was originally conceived as an acoustic country song. Richards has said: "[It] was originally written as a real Hank WilliamsJimmie Rogers1930s country song."
