Kaw-Liga

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."

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.

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk.

The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped some day he'd talk.

Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign,

Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

Kaw-liga was a lonely 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 show,

So she could never answer"yes" or"no."

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.
