Country Honk

I'm sittin' in a bar tippling a jar in Jackson
And on the street the summer sun it shines
There's many a bar room queen I've had in Jackson
But I just can't seen to drink you off my mind
It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues
I played a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then all dressed me up in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues
It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues
It's those honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme those honky tonk blues
Honky Tonk Women
The Rolling Stones
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
For most of my life, I've always assumed the second verse started "I later did the same in New York City." It still means basically the same thing. World's Greatest Rock Band(tm) ladies and gentlemen!
I sing the second version occasionally at karaoke whilst doing the Jagger strut, with my lower lip stuck out.
Honest. I do!
Perfect place to ask: I've never understood the "Derkass" bit in the scene above. Am I parsing the Fleagle-ese correctly that this is supposed to be them saying "dark ass"? Is this just a pun on all the "Dark Phoenix," "Dark Storm," etc re-brandings going on in then-contemporary comics? I really feel like I'm missing the joke, and that rarely happens for me in CEREBUS. . .
Thanks,
Tony
Tony,
It's an inversion. Like Epop/Pope, Suberec/Cerebus. (I feel like there's more, but I can't think of them of the top of my head.)
In this case, Derkass=Sacred.

Thanks, Matt! I *might* have tumbled to that if I'd seen it non-Fleagleized ("Dercas"), but no way I was getting there from "Derkass". . .
