MINNI-HA-CHA

WRITERS HANK WILLIAMS, FRED ROSE, BETTIE WESTERGARD, TOMMY COLLINS



Minni-ha-cha was the name of the maid

That was old Kawliga's gal

The customer took far far away

But Kawliga's with her now

Minni-ha-cha

She left a trail for ol' wooden head to find

Now ol' Kawliga's with her all the time



She dropped her beads along the way

To make a trail for him

She knew if ol Kawliga stayed her life would be so grim

Minni-ha-cha

How she loved that poor ol' wooden head

The man of knotty pine with a face so red

Minni-ha-cha



Years have passed and now at last they got Papoose by the score

Kawliga beats his old tom tom while she sweeps the floor

Minni-ha-cha

She works her fingers to the bone

While ol' Kawliga sings an Indian song

Minni-ha-cha



Now you've heard the story about a wooden head affair

An Indian with a tomahawk and a maiden with the coal black hair

Minni-ha-cha

They're as happy as anyone can be

'Cause they're together and have a family

Minni-ha-cha
