On the banks of the river Stood running bear Young indian brave And on the other side of the river Stood lovely indian maid Yeah, little white dove was her name She's a sach a lovely sight to see But their trides fought with each other So their love could never be
Oh, running bear love little white dove Yeah, with a love big as the sky Running bear love little whith dove With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the ragin river 'Cause the river was too wide And he could reaches little white dove She was waiting on the other side Yeah, in the moon light he could see her Throwing kisses across the wave Her little heart was beating faster Waiting for her indian brave (*Repeat) Running bear jumped in the water Yeah, little white dove did the same And they swam, up to each other Through the swirling stream they came Yeah, as the hands touch and the lips met The raging river pulled them down Now they'll always be together In the happy home down (*Repeat two times)
