  • Kentucky woman
    She shines with her own kind of light
    She'd look at you once
    And a day that's all wrong looks all right
    And I love her
    God knows, I love her

    Kentucky woman
    If she get to know you
    She goin' to own you
    Kentucky woman

    Well, she ain't the kind
    Makes heads turn at the drop of her name
    But something inside
    That she's got turn you on just the same
    And she loves me
    God knows, she loves me

    Kentucky woman
    If she get to know you
    She goin' to own you
    Kentucky woman

    I don't want much
    The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
    A gentle touch from that one girl
    And life is sweet and good
    Ain't no doubt
    I'm talkin' about

    Kentucky woman
    If she get to know you
    She goin' to own you
    Kentucky woman

    I don't want much
    The good Lord's earth beneath my feet
    A gentle touch from that one girl
    And life is sweet and good
    Ain't no doubt
    I'm talkin' about

    Kentucky woman
    If she get to know you
    She goin' to own you
    Kentucky woman

  • Susan from Atlanta, GeorgiaI like both Neil Diamond's and Deep Purple's versions of this song, and I would be hard pressed to say which I like more. They're both awesome, and it's almost like they are two distinctly separate songs.
  • Tony from Eugene, OrThe Deep Purple cover of this song has possibly the gnarliest guitar solo ever.
  • Richard from Louisville, Ky60s garage band Those Guys recorded a great version of Kentucky Woman.
