Kaw-liga chords by Hank Williams

[Verse]

E
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door.
E
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store.
                                                 B7
Kaw-liga??., just stood there and never let it show,
                                 E
So she could never answer yes or no.

E
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk.
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk.
                                       B7                                         E
Kaw liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign, Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

[Chorus]

E                                        A
Poor ol' Kaw liga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol' Kaw liga, he don't know what he missed.
E                                  B7                                   E
Is it any wonder that his face is red? Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.


[Verse]

E
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere.
E
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair.
                                             B7
Kaw-liga, just stood there and never let it show,
                                 E
So she could never answer yes or no.

E
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid,
E
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw liga stayed.
                                              B7                                      E
Kaw liga, just stands there as lonely as can be, And wishes he was still an old pine tree.


[Chorus]

E                                        A
Poor ol' Kaw liga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol' Kaw liga, he don't know what he missed.
E                                        B7                            E
Is it any wonder that his face is red? Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.
