No. 1 Hit January, 1953


Em (making the sound of a tom-tom)



[Em] Kaw-Liga was a wooden indian standing by the door,


He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store.


KAW-LIGA, Just stood there and never let it [B7] show,


So she could never answer "Yes or No"  [Em]


EM He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk,


The maiden wore beads and brads and hoped someday he'd talk.


KAW-LIGA, Too stubborn to ever show a B7 sign,


Becasue his heart was made of knotty pines. [Em]


Chorus


[E] Poor Old Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss


[A] Poor Old Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed.


Is he any wonder that his face is [B7] red?


Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden [E] head. [Em]


 EM Kaw-Liga was a lonley 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 B7 show,


So she could never answer "Yes or No" EM


 EM Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid,


And took her oh so far away but old Kaw-Liga stayed.


KAW-LIGA, Just stands there as loneley as can B7 be,


And wishes he was still an old pine tree.EM


Chorus
