Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Jerry, [Dm]tell us about the song Collagia.
All right. Hank Williams a few
times found opportunities
to go to a lake resort.
Not a big lake, but just a little lake
out in the country
like we used to see where fish
for 50 cents type of thing.
And they had a couple of little cabins,
little lodges there.
And it was called either Lake Collagia
or Camp Collagia.
And one particular time there that Hank went,
this was later in life,
after, of course, towards the end of his life, really,
after most of the big hit songs
that we know of from Hank
Williams had been done and recorded.
And this gave him an idea there
because Collagia was an Indian name,
local Indian name there in Alabama.
And so this gave him an idea
about the cigar store,

[Verse 2]
Wooden Indian.
[Dm]
Colliger was a wooden Indian
standing by the door.

[Verse 3]
He fell in love with [Dm]an Indian

[Verse 4]
made over in the antique store.
[Dm]
You stood there and never let it [A]show
So she could never answer yes or [D]no
Poor old Kalacha, he never got a kiss
[G]Poor old Kalacha,
he don't know what he missed
[D]It's many wonders that
his [A]face is red
Kalacha, that poor old wooden
[D]head[A][D][G]
[D][A]
[Dm]
He always wore his sunny feathers
and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads
and braid
to hope someday he'd talk
Colliger
Too stubborn to ever show a [A]sign
Because his heart was
made of knotted [D]iron
Poor old Colliger, he never got a case
[G]Poor old Colliger,
he don't know what he missed
Is it [D]any wonder that his face is
[A]red?[D]
[G][D]
[A][Dm]
Collagia was a wooden Indian,
never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maid
with the coal black hair
Kalai Chubb
Just stood there and never let it [A]show
So she could never answer yes or [D]no
Poor old Kalai Chubb, he never got a kiss
[G]Poor old Kalai Chubb,
he don't know what he missed
Is[D]n't it a wonder, and his face is [A]red,
The life of that poor old wooden [Dm]man?
