Kaw-Liga, was a wooden Indian standing by the door

6   6   6    6   6   6   6  6   6
He fell in love with an Indian maid 

6 6  6   6   -5  5    4
over in the antique store

 6   6 7   6     6     6    6   6 6   6  6    6   
Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show

6   6    6    6 6   6 -5   5  -4  4
So she could never answer yes or now.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk

 5   6  6   6    6    6    6    6 
The maiden wore her beads and braids 

 6    6    6   -5  5    4
and hoped someday he'd talk

 6   6 7   6    6  6   6  6 6    6  6  6
Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign

 6  6    6    6    6   6   -5  5 -4   4
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

chorus:

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss

 -6  -6  -6  -6 6  -5  -6    -6   -6  6   -6
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed

6  6  6 6  -6 6   -6   6   6   5  -4
Is it any wonder that his face is red

 6   6 6    6   6   -5   5 -4   4
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head

verse 2

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

chorus:

verse 3

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