Running Bear

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young

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 waiting on the

other side

In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses

'cross the waves

Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her

Indian brave

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
