Kaw-Liga — Charley Pride
Chords and lyrics for Kaw-Liga by Charley Pride (key of A).
Verse 1
(Strum chords using a tom-tom beat)
[A]Kaw-liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-liga just stood there and never let it [E]show
So she could never answer yes or [A]no
Verse 2
[A]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 [E]sign
Because his heart was made of knotty [A]pine
Chorus
[A]Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss
[D]Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed
[A]Is it any wonder that his face is [E]red
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden [A]head
Verse 3
[A]Kaw-liga was a lonely 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 [E]show
So she could never answer yes or [A]no
Verse 4
[A]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 [E]be
And wishes he was still an old pine [A]tree
Chorus
[A]Poor ol' Kaw-liga he never got a kiss
[D]Poor ol' Kaw-liga he don't know what he missed
[A]Is it any wonder that his face is [E]red
Kaw-liga that poor ol' wooden [A]head
