A 
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door 
  
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store 
                                            E 
Kaw-liga  just stood there and never let it show 
                                 A 
So she could never answer yes or no 
  
 A 
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk 
  
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk 
                                      E 
Kaw-liga  too stubborn to ever show a sign 
                                     A 
Because his heart was made of knotty pine 

A 
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss 
D 
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed 
A                                  E 
Is it any wonder that his face is red 
                              A 
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head  
  
A 
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian never went nowhere 
  
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair 
                                           E 
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show 
                                 A 
So she could never answer yes or no 
  
 A 
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid 
  
And took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-liga stayed 
                                            E 
Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be                           
                                    A 
And wishes he was still an old pine tree 
  
A 
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss 
D 
Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed 
A                                  E 
Is it any wonder that his face is red 
                              A 
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden head
