[Verse 1]
(Strum chords using a tom-tom beat)
A
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the doorHe fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
E Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show A So she could never answer yes or no
[Verse 2]
A
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawkThe maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
E Kaw-liga too stubborn to ever show a sign A Because his heart was made of knotty pine
[Chorus]
A Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss D Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed A E Is it any wonder that his face is red A Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head
[Verse 3]
A
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhereHis heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
E Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show A So she could never answer yes or no
[Verse 4]
A
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maidAnd took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-liga stayed
E Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be A And wishes he was still an old pine tree
[Chorus]
A Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss D Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed A E Is it any wonder that his face is red A Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head
