Running Bear

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 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
