RUNNING BEAR |
RUNNING BEAR-JOHNNY PRESTON (Artist) PEAK BILLBOARD POSITION #1 IN 1959-1960 Words and Music by J P Richardson ( The Big Bopper) |
RUNNING BEAR On the bank, 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, blowing kisses, 'cross the way 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 huntin' 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 |
