Running Bear

[Verse 1] On the banks 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-a her name Such a lovely sight to see But their tribes fought with each other So their love could never be [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] He couldn't swim the raging river Because 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 across the waves Her little heart was beating faster Waiting there for her brave [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 raginf river pulled them down Now they'll always be together In that happy hunting ground [Chorus]
