Kaw-liga - Hank Williams
[Verse 1]
[Am]Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door.
[Am]He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store.
Kaw-liga……., just stood there and never let it [E7]show,
So she could never answer yes or [Am]no.
Verse 2:
[Am]He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk.
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk.
Kaw liga, too stubborn to ever show a [E7]sign,
Because his heart was made of knotty [Am]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]Is it any wonder that his face is red…
|[E7]Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden [Am]head.
[Verse 3]
[Am]Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere.
[Am]His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair.
Kaw-liga, just stood there and never let it [E7]show,
So she could never answer yes or [Am]no.
Verse 4:
[Am]And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid,
[Am]And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw liga stayed.
[Am]Kaw liga, just stands there as lonely as can be,
[E7]And wishes he was still an old pine tree[Am].
|[Chorus]
|[A]Poor ol' Kaw liga, he never got a kiss.
|[D]Poor ol' Kaw liga, he don't know what he missed.
|[A]Is it any wonder that his face is red…
|[E7]Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden [A]head.
