Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you miss miss Is it any wonder, that his face is red? Is it any wonder, that his face is red? Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you ain't never got a kiss Standing over by the door Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, you don't know what you He fell in love with an Indian maid miss Over in the antique store Is it any wonder, that his face is red? Kaw-Liga Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Just stood there and never let it show Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head So she could never answer "yes" or "no" Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head And then one day, a wealthy customer Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Bought the Injun maid Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head And took her, oh, so far away But old Kaw-Liga stayed Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Standin' there, as lonesome as can be Kaw-Liga, that poor old wooden head Just wishing he were still an old pine tree .
