Kaw-Liga - Hank Williams/Tommy Steele/Hank Williams Jr./Loretta Lynn/Charley Pride/Roy Orbison/Carl Perkins/Marty Robbins/Boxcar Willie/The Residents/Jayke Orvis & The Broken Band

          
Kaw-Liga
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door.
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store. 
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show, 
So she could never answer yes or no 

(Chorus:)

Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he never got a kiss.
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed. 
Is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head. 

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk. 
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk.
Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign, 
Because his heart was made of knotty pine. 

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

And 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.
