KAW-LIGA
by Hank Williams, Fred Rose

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

2. 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, too stubborn to ever show a sign,
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

BRIDGE: Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, 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.

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

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

Hear (and download) Hank Williams singing "Kawliga" on the Record Lady, Real Country Archives p. 6. Record Lady

The lyrics by Fred Rose and Hank Williams are already in the DT- just enter kaw-liga in the blank for lyrics and knowledge search.

A lot of spellings have turned up since this (very) old thread was young...

We'll have to ask Max to install Soundex for us.

He made three separate requests for the song on the same day, and that was it so far as the records show. Never mind. It's been posted several times since then.
