1
Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door.
2
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store.
3
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show,
4
So she could never answer "yes" or "no."
5
[Chorus]
6
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he never got a kiss.
7
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed.
8
Is it any wonder that his face is red?
9
Kaw-liga, that poor ol' wooden head.
10
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk.
11
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped some day he'd talk.
12
Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign,
13
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.
14
Kaw-liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere.
15
His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair.
16
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it show,
17
So she could never answer "yes" or "no."
18
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid,
19
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-liga stayed.
20
Kaw-liga just stands there as lonely as can be,
21
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
