[Verse 1]

(Strum chords using a tom-tom beat)
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
