Lyrics:
Kentucky Woman
She shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once in a day
And what's wrong is alright
And I love her,
God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
She ain't the kind to turn
at the drop of her name
Well all the things she does
they turn you on just the same
And I love her,
God knows I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
I don't want much
The Good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A gentle touch
Cause that one girl in life is sweet and good
There ain't no doubt, I'm talking about
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman she shines in her own kind of light
She looks at you once in a day
And what's wrong is alright
And I love her, yes I do, I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman

Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solo over simple blues changes about 1:45 in is a thing of brilliance. The whole arrangement is great…hell, this whole album is!10 years ago

What I loved about the late 60's was that if a band covered a song, it was usually as good or better than the original version.10 years ago

you're exactly right man.....the band was sounding very progressive at this time, then when they hired Ian, their music started to sound more blues based. Blackmore was ahead of his time. All of the solos on the first two records are amazing.11 years ago

True that...he and the rest of the band had a great, unique sound, but Blackmore was underrated and underappreciated. You can tell he is a classically trained musician, he plays so melodically!11 years ago
