Kaw-Liga lyrics
Song information
Artist: Hank Williams, Jr. Album: 20 Of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits
Lyrics
Kaw-liga was a wooden indian Standin' over by the door Fell in love with a chocktaw maid Over in the georgia store
Kaw-liga, oooohhhh Standin' there, don't never let it show She don't ever answer yes or no
An, he always wore his sunday feathers And carried his old black 'hawk Maiden wore her beads and braids An hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-liga, oooohhhh Standin' there, don't never show a sign 'Cause his heart is made of knotty pine
Chorus
Poor ol' kaw-liga, ain't never got a kiss Poor ol' kaw-liga, you don't know what you what miss Is it any wonder, that his face is red? Kaw-liga, you poor old wooden head
--Fiddle solo--
Kaw-liga was a lonely indian Never went nowhere Heart was set on the chocktaw maid Wearin' the long, black hair
Kaw-liga, oooohhhh Standin' there, don't never show a sign 'Cause his heart was made of knotty pine
And then one day, a wealthy customer Bought the indian maid Took her oh so far away An' ol' kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-liga, oooohhhh Standin' there, as lonesome as can be Ah just wishin' he were still an ol' pine tree
Chorus
Poor ol' kaw-liga You just ain't never had no kissin' Poor ol' kaw-liga Hoss, you don't know what your missin' Is it any wonder, that your face is red? Kaw-liga, you poor, ol' wooden head
Just a head Just a head
