Written by Neil Diamond

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
