Kaw- [dm] liga, was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-liga - a, just stood there and never let it [a7] show
So she could never answer "yes" or [dm] "no".
He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he’d talk
Kaw-liga - a, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.
Chorus
[d] poor ol’ kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
[g] poor ol’ kaw-liga, he don’t know what he missed
[d] is it any wonder that his face is [a7] red
Kaw-liga, that poor ol’ wooden [d] head. ... [dm]
Kaw-liga, was a lonely indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maiden with the coal black hair
Kaw-liga - a, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "yes" or "no".
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol’ kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-liga - a, just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
