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
