Kaw-Liga was a wooden In-di-an
-5 -6 -5 -6 -5 -5 -6 -6 -5 -6 -5
He fell in love with an In-di-an maiden
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -6
Just stood there and never let it show
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
So she could never answer "yes" or "no".

He always wore his Sunday feathers
-5 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6 -5 -6
The maiden wore her beads and braids
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 -6
Too stubborn to ever show a sign
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
Because his heart was made of knotty pine
-6 -6 -6 -7 -6 -6 -5 -6 -6 -7 -6
Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss
-7 -8 -8 8 -8 -8 -7 -8 -8 8 -8
Poor ol' Kaw-liga, he don't know what he missed
-6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 -6 -5 -6 -6 5
Is it any wonder that his face is red
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -4
Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head.
