Recorded by hank williams<br>Written by hank williams and fred rose<br><br>Key: e capo: 2nd play: d<br><br>Kaw- [dm] liga, was a wooden indian standing by the door<br>He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store<br>Kaw-liga - a, just stood there and never let it [a7] show<br>So she could never answer yes or [dm] no.<br><br>He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk<br>The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk<br>Kaw-liga - a, too stubborn to ever show a sign<br>Because his heart was made of knotty pine.<br><br>Chorus<br>[d] poor ol' kaw-liga, he never got a kiss<br>[g] poor ol' kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed<br>[d] is it any wonder that his face is [a7] red<br>Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden [d] head. ... [dm]<br><br>Kaw-liga, was a lonely indian never went nowhere<br>His heart was set on the indian maiden with the coal black hair<br>Kaw-liga - a, just stood there and never let it show<br>So she could never answer yes or no.<br><br>Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid<br>And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' kaw-liga stayed<br>Kaw-liga - a, just stands there as lonely as can be<br>And wishes he was still an old pine tree.<br><br>Chorus
