Williams, Hank - Kaw-Liga Lyrics
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 - A, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "YES" or "NO".
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
KAW-LIGA - A, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.
[Chorus:]
Poor ol' KAW-LIGA, 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.
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
KAW-LIGA - A, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "YES" or "NO".
Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' KAW-LIGA stayed
KAW-LIGA - A, just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
[Chorus]

Top of the totum pole no questions i dont know whos 2nd but sr is def the King
in 1952 i remember this song i was 12 years i loved this song hank williams the greatest country artist of all time the songs he wrote captured the hearts and soul of millions of people
Kaw-Ligaaa
This is a racist song. It generalizes Native Americans!!
shut up
Andrew White so your in favor of racism?
My father told me of seeing Hank and his band in a little beer joint, Deep in the Mountains of McDowell County WV! My father had never before heard the sounds of an Electric Guitar and was facinated by the music!
Fifty years later, I work at the Hospital where Hank was pronounced dead, in Oak Hill WV and meet with the nurse whom was in the Emergency Room, that snowy new years morning! I sat down with Old nurse Vida Priester, a few days before her death and over about 90 minutes, she told me the detailed story of that tragic day we lost the amazing talent of Hank Williams! The narrative does not quite follow SOME of the stories floating around, as they have been changed "For Profit!"
Greetings from McDowell County, WV lol
@Tyler Collins McDowell, Logan & Mingo Counties... the of Soul West Virginia!
@Mike Hazelwood yes, sir! My fiancee works in Gilbert in Mingo County and we often go to Logan for shopping. I'll be moving to Mercer County this weekend, though.
1923 to 1953
Never heard this till today
I was so pleased to hear it in Moonrise Kingdom
Dad was in a band. They'd sometimes practice at our house when I was in bed. I'd always holler down the steps "Kaw-Liga!" Eventually they'd play it for me! Brings back fond memories...
"The Hillbilly Shakespeare"
He makes William sound like he has a lisp
Really. Only 524k hits for a GOD. The human race is doomed
now look up Hank 3 Kawliga!!!!!!!!!
Hank III does this song live and looks and sounds just like his grand daddy. Its really an awesome thing to hear. Sounds like Hank Sr is singing it again.
he's amazing
😄👍
This song is racist!!!
uh..how
i think george jones kicked it out of the park
Boy did i ever love this song when i was a kid.
Seriously how damn racist can you get?? This song is extremely racist!!! Just replace the “Indian” with a black person!! You’ll see it!!! This song should be banned!!!! It’s extremely racist!!!!
Moonrise kingdom brought me here...
I love this song.
first time i've heard this since i was a kid in the 50s.
I gotta say I prefer Jrs version but Srs is pretty good too
UNBELIEVABLE he made SO much music in SUCH a short career?!?!?!
👍 bought this cd at cracker barrel in texas during rita an katrina.
I have more Kaw-liga in me than I care to admit.
Hank was one of a kind but Charley Pride made a great remake of this song
I’m pretty young, most other people my age would listen to mumble rap, and shizz, but, my grandparents are the ones who introduced me to Hank Williams Sr. When I was very small, and I love listening to Hank Sr. :3
Kawligaaaaaaaaa!
The Japanese version is better.
These old sonds remind me of my grandps, love these and grandpa

Good old American country.
My mother turned me on to Hank St.when I was around 6, I loved Kaw- Liga.
Hiram King Williams.........The original OG
Awesome
This was my favorite Hank song growing up, my mom had a two disc Hank Williams album and we’d listen to them beginning to end. I love the fact that I was raised around all sorts of classic music. My music and parents made me the person I am today. And if you were to meet me you wouldn’t know what to think. Now listen I may play video games and listen to a little bit of rap here and there but this is the kind of music that truly holds a special spot in my heart. I swear I was born in the wrong generation because I’ve been told my whole life I have an old soul and I see it.
How I am with women.
The Real Stuff. Not glee club country.
Pure Magic
I have all three versions of this song.
I’m Seminole Indian so this song hits home
Thank u hank.
Two bears is mad as hell
he lost too
Lol, perfect chasing song

Ah, what memoires of childhood, pre rock and roll days, and this song on the radio . Poor ole Kawlilas wooden head , reminds me of Nancy Polosi
Who missus hank willams
First 2019 comment :) It's 1:11 am!

I refused when I was young. But now I know why my peepaw used to play this bastard all the time around me.
Good song but there not Indians they are native Americans or indigenous people
They can't be native American . They were here before North or South America . Besides, the Americas are wrongly named, they were found a thousands years before Columbus found a few small islands out in the ocean . The place was named Vinland by the europeans that found the continent, The Vikings ( Norse )
There still indigenous people
Ok let’s just go back in history and change a dead mans song. It’s literally about a wooden statue.
Hank Williams was 👌
Hank Jr brought me here
Been listening to country greats all my life but never really gave this old old country a try, and after a few days I have come to realize what all the musicians talk about when they bring up Hank. He really was something
Modern country is as garbage as modern rap. A bunch of Jews contracting your culture and destroying
Frequent Man: And now the racists come out...
@Jennifer Rogers There is a reason why music and film have gone down hill
You talking 'bout Hank, Hank Jr or Hank III?
(and you are allowed to answer "Yes")
