Running Bear

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear

Your Indian brave

On the other side of the river stood

His lovely Indian maid

Little White Dove was her name

Such a lovely sight to see

But their tribes fought with each other

So their love could never be

Running Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Running 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 the Little White Dove

There 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

Here Running Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Running Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

Running 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 raging river pulled them down

Now they'll always be together in

Their happy hunting ground

Running Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Running Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die
