Dm
Min-ni-ha-cha was the name of the maid that was ol' Kaw-liga's gal,
The cus-tom-er took her far away but kaw-liga's with her now.
                                                      A7
Minni-ha-cha left a trail for ol' wooden head to find,
                                  Dm
Now Kaw-liga's with her all the time.


Chorus:

        D
Minni-Ha-Cha and ol' Kaw-liga they're to-geth-er now
      G
The gal that in-vent-ed lovin' come a-long and showed him how
D                                              A7
Now they's ed-u-cat-ed to what that stuff can do
                                       D
And they're as civ-i-lized as me and you.



     Dm
She dropped her beads a-long the way to make a trail for him,
She knew if ol' Kaw-liga stayed her life would be so grim
                                                   A7
Minni-ha-cha how she loved that poor ol' wooden head,
                                     Dm
The man of knot-ty pine with face so red.


(Repeat Chorus)


       Dm
Years have passed and now at last they got pa-poose by the score,
Kaw-liga beats his ol' tom-tom while she sweeps the floor
                                            A7
Minni-ha-cha works her poor fingers to the bone,
                                Dm
While Kaw-liga sings an indian song.


(Repeat Chorus)

      Dm
Now you've heard the story 'bout a wood-en - head af-fair,
An indian with a toma-hawk and a maid with the coal back hair.
                                            A7
Minni-ha-cha Kaw-liga they're as hap-py as an-y-one can be,
                                       Dm
'Cause they're to-gether and have a fam-i-ly.


(Repeat Chorus)
