Version 1KAW-LIGA Recorded by Hank Williams Written by Hank Williams and Fred Rose KEY: E CAPO: 2nd PLAY: D [Verse 1] Dm KAW- LIGA, was a wooden Indian standing by the door He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store A7 KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show Dm So she could never answer "YES" or "NO". [Verse 2] Dm He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk A7 KAW-LIGA - A, too stubborn to ever show a sign Dm Because his heart was made of knotty pine. [Chorus] D Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss G Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he don't know what he missed D A7 Is it any wonder that his face is red D KAW-LIGA, that poor ol' wooden head. [Verse 3] Dm KAW-LIGA, was a lonely Indian never went nowhere His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair A7 KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show Dm So she could never answer "YES" or "NO". [Verse 4] Dm Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' KAW-LIGA stayed A7 KAW-LIGA - A, just stands there as lonely as can be Dm And wishes he was still an old pine tree. [Chorus] D Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he never got a kiss G Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, he don't know what he missed D A7 Is it any wonder that his face is red D KAW-LIGA, that poor ol' wooden head. ===========================================================================
