Kaw-liga - Hank Williams

[Verse 1]
[Am] 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 [E7] show,
So she could never answer yes or [Am] no.

Verse 2:
[Am] He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk.
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk.
Kaw liga, too stubborn to ever show a [E7] sign, 
Because his heart was made of knotty [Am] pine.

[Verse 3]
[Am] 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 [E7] show,
So she could never answer yes or [Am] no.

Verse 4:
[Am] 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 [E7] be, 
And wishes he was still an old pine tree [Am].
