Running Bear lyrics

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 ragin' 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

throwing kisses

'cross the waves

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 hand 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
