Hank Williams - Kaw-Liga Chords

[Verse]

E 
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door. 
E 
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store. 
                                                 B7
Kaw-liga……., just stood there and never let it show, 
                                 E
So she could never answer yes or no. 

E
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk. 
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk. 
                                       B7                                         E
Kaw liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign, Because his heart was made of knotty pine. 


[Chorus]

E                                        A                                                  
Poor ol' Kaw liga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol' Kaw liga, he don't know what he missed. 
E                                  B7                                   E
Is it any wonder that his face is red… Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.


[Verse]

E
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere. 
E 
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair. 
                                             B7
Kaw-liga, just stood there and never let it show, 
                                 E
So she could never answer yes or no. 

E
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid, 
E 
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw liga stayed. 
                                              B7                                      E
Kaw liga, just stands there as lonely as can be, And wishes he was still an old pine tree.


[Chorus]

E                                        A                                                  
Poor ol' Kaw liga, he never got a kiss. Poor ol' Kaw liga, he don't know what he missed. 
E                                        B7                            E
Is it any wonder that his face is red… Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.
