On the banks of the river
|
Stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
|
On the other side of the river
|
Stood his lovely Indian maid
|
Little White Dove was-a her name
|
Such a lovely sight to see
|
But their tribes fought with each other
|
So their love could never be
|
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love big as the sky
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love that couldn't die
|
|
He couldn't swim the raging river
|
'Cause the river was too wide
|
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
|
Waiting on the other side
|
In the moonlight he could see her
|
Throwing kisses 'cross the waves
|
Her little heart was beating faster
|
Waiting there for her brave
|
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love big as the sky
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love that couldn't die
|
|
Runnin' Bear dove in the water
|
Little White Dove did the same
|
And they swam out to each other
|
Through the swirling stream they came
|
As their hands touched and their lips met
|
The ragin' river pulled them down
|
Now they'll always be together
|
In that happy hunting ground
|
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love big as the sky
|
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
|
With a love that couldn't die
|
