Lyrics

Kaw-liga was a wooden indian standin' by the door
He fell in love with an indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-liga well he just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no
Poor ol' kaw-liga well 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 well he stood there as lonely as can be
Cause his heart was an ol' pine knoty tree
Poor ol' kaw-liga..

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
He took her oh so far away but ol' kaw-liga stayed
Well he stood there and never let it show so she could never answer yes or no
Poor ol' kaw-liga..
