[Verse 1]
    Em
Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door. 

   Em 
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store. 

    Em                                      B7
Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show, 

   B7                            Em
So she could never answer yes or no. 
[Verse 2]
   Em
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk. 

    Em
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk. 

    Em                                B7
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign

  B7                                 Em
Because his heart was made of knotty pine. 
[Chorus]
E                                                 
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss. 

A
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed. 

E                                 B7
Is it any wonder that his face is red

    B7                         E
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head.

    Em
Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere. 

    Em 
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair. 

    Em                                      B7
Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show, 

   B7                            Em
So she could never answer yes or no. 
[Verse 4]
    Em
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid, 

    Em 
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed. 

    Em                                       B7
Kaw-Liga, just stands there as lonely as can be

    B7                              Em
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
[Chorus]
E                                                 
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss. 

A
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed. 

E                                 B7
Is it any wonder that his face is red

    B7                         Em
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head.
