Diamond, Neil - Kentucky Woman Lyrics






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
Turns 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
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman

    Who was his KY woman?

    🤔🤔🆒

    This was the song my husband would tease me about. He said it was me. Then he would laugh and hold me. It hurts to listen but I can see his face grinning at me and singing the words. He is in Heaven now I hope. I still love him. There was no one like him at least not for me. He died in 1988.

    E.... W....

    Thank you for sharing this part of your life story. After reading this, I can assure you that he is smiling down from Heaven, and has been for all 31 years. God bless you.

    E.... W....

    @rcowboy1953 Thank you so much. He has never left my heart in all these years. I can see him so clearly. He would grab me by hands and dance around the living room with me.
    Thank you

    Talk about a piece of music that picks you up! Moves you. Forever fantastic!! I love..

  5. W.... L....

    Although I've heard this song before, I've never paid much attention to the words until just now. Not sure how I'm born and raised in Kentucky, but have never learned all the lyrics to this song until age 35. Haha!
    It's a flattering song, but pedestals are impractical and precarious footing to be put on... Too easy to fall from. I prefer people to have low to mediocre expectations and then I have better chances at pleasantly surprising them, Haha!
    Cheers ya'll!

    Listen to 'country woman' by the Bee Gees and it's an almost identical copy of this song. It's mostly a solo song by Maurice Gibb. Amazing that no law suit ever came from Neil who's song predates Country woman by 3 years.

    i was with a gorgeous
    kentucky baptist woman
    for more than 33-1/2 years
    and was honored
    and blessed
    to call her
    my wife
    my lover
    my partner
    i lost her
    when she took her
    journey above
    on the evening of 7-15-17
    may she forever be
    a blessing

    i will love you
    always and forever
    and i will forget you

  56. S.... s....

    Luisviille baby #WeAllWeGot Lbc movement Baby

  57. L.... R....

    Always loved him, but not a Kentucky guy, a New York Jew. Which, being a gentile in a West LA Jewish law firm worked for me. Except that one of my earliest cases was opposing him in a battle over the execrable film "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." Neil was there for every court hearing, worked hard with his team, and got a good settlement, despite my best efforts to wreck his case. We were not friends, even acquaintances, but I think we respected each other. And I still love his songs. I always will.

    L.... R....

    As long as we admit he's a great entertainer and artist. Chaim Witz wasn't around at the time offering advice that Nikki & crew were very lucky to have received. The music "business" isn't as always as great as the music.

    L.... R....

    @Keith Landry Laws, sausages, and music. Sometimes you don't want to see how they're made.

  58. S.... W....

    Barely got away , Kentucky woman her accents and charms. Still respect country ladies.

  59. r.... a....

    I love KY woman that's me! Tammys post ,

  60. �.... �....

    Tnx 4 warning, but was dee capitol?

  61. H.... I....

    i.m listen this to this becuse my dog is from Kentucky and shes in surgery

    H.... I....

    God bless her.

    H.... I....

    Is your dog okay?

  62. C.... O....

    Love this song!!! Neil Diamond forever!

  63. P.... P....

    you still are the best

    P.... P....

    Sure is one of the best. And for a very long time. Truly a star of highest order.

  64. s.... ....

    Neil Leslie Diamond will celebrate his 74th birthday in three months on January 24th {2015}...

    s.... ....

    Was madly in love with him in the 70's. Now that I am 61 I am still in love with his music but I got over my mad love. Still he is my favorite of all musicians, composers and singers. So much talentl

  65. T.... ....

    Kentucky woman here, born and raised. Neil wrote this in a small town sitting in a car. He noticed the women were especially beautiful. The thing is, its true!

    T.... ....

    I'm a Virginia chick.

    T.... ....

    The Alysheba: Yes the women are beautiful in KY! I grew up in Cincy and went across the Ohio river to KY to meet the Kentucky woman in the nightclubs! I took one to the drive in over in Erlanger, Ky one time and when I picked her up she had a fifth of bourbon in her hand! Wild and crazy, those KY women! Like they say Kentucky is the home of FAST women and BEAUTIFUL horses! Owl!! JR

    T.... ....

    @Join the conversation Yep. We southern women are very polite

    T.... ....

    @Stratus 262J Also Virginia!

    T.... ....

    @nice lady Me too. 7th generation Southwest Virginia. The Appalachian mountains

  66. R.... M....

    This Song Went To Number 22 On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart In 1967. 

  67. J.... p....

    he had hits during the Nam era...I know because I served during that era...

    J.... p....

    Thank you for your service.

    J.... p....

    John parker thanx for ur great taste and your service to this country

    J.... p....

    Thank you for you service. ❤️

    J.... p....

    Micheley 6 Stevens ik kan van dit onzinnige gebrabbel echt niks maken,naar bed jullie.marian.

  68. C.... S....

    entered Vancouver's CKLG chart Oct 14, 1967

  69. d.... ....

    Brings back good memories of the 70's   beautiful song.!!!!

  70. G.... L....

    mr. diamond is a great american artist, love this song but he has so many great songs !

  71. K.... H....

    OOpppsssss hahah yeh your right in that respect.... cheers...

  72. B.... ....

    I know....I was just being funny because neil looks a little like Richie Blackmore.

  73. B.... ....

    I was being sarcastic with that question. neil diamond looks a little like richie blackmore.

  74. K.... H....

    No, never in the line up with Deep Purple, all of Purple where English.

  75. G.... G....

    Man, Neil Diamond really takes all the balls out of this Deep Purple classic!

    G.... G....

    Gino Gianninis Neil, like Dylan and The Beatles are the most coveted and covered musical cats. That says it all.

  76. I.... ....

    not in this or any other lifetime, Neil Diamond has more talent in his pinky that deep purple ever thought they had

    I.... ....

    ITILII kritiek, je vindt dit lied slecht, mag gezegd worden, ieder zijn smaak,maar dat hij zo,n weinig talent heeft.slaat op jouw kleine pink.marian

  77. B.... ....

    Didn't his twin brother play guitar for Deep Purple?

  78. A.... B....

    THIS IS FOR YOU ERIN i think you are beautiful and your voice is like music. but me and you could not happen . no one wants me..

  79. m.... d....

    for my money -Neil's version is heads and tails above Purple's in emotion----.

    m.... d....

    Depends what you like or what you're in the mood for. Deep Purple's is fast and upbeat, while Neil's version is more of a soft love ballad.

  80. m.... d....

    matter of opinion my friend--i prefer Neil--and what this is--is the original as the song sprang from his pen.i do however like purple's version also.

  81. b.... ....

    What the hell is this? Deep Purple version is way better!

  82. C.... S....

    Here in Louisville for a few days on business. KY girls are very nice, but I miss my Southern Belle home in Ole Virginia. God bless America on this 4th of July.

  83. h.... ....

    im a kentucky woman :) born and raised here

    h.... ....

    hellcattiff87 so Deep Purple or Neil for you? My vote is for Neil. There better be both a USPS stamp and national holiday for this national and international treasure. Check out his performance at Glastonbury 2013.

  84. C.... ....

    its the new generation of bloody ignorant idiots

  85. t.... ....

    Still one of his best songs!

  86. A.... G....

    Bloody classic song, should have millions of views!
