Kaw-Liga

This one’s just for fun.  An old country western song I grew up with.  Charlie Pride was one of my favorites and my Granddad’s favorites, and my football Coach’s all-time favorite.  Kaw-Liga is just a fun song.  It is a fun song to change the lyrics to, also.  Such as “Kaw-Liga had termites in his head.”  Anyway, hope you enjoy this oldie by the great Charlie Pride.

Text

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin’ by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store
Kaw-Liga well he just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

Chorus:
Poor ol’ Kaw-Liga well 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 someday he’d talk
Kaw-Liga well he stood there as lonely as can be
Cause his heart was an ol’ pine knotty tree

Chorus:
Poor ol’ Kaw-Liga well 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
And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
He took her oh so far away but ol’ Kaw-Liga stayed
Well he stood there and never let it show so she could never answer yes or no
Chorus:
Poor ol’ Kaw-Liga well 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
