RUNNING BEAR
By: Johnny Preston
Little White Dove, was-a her name,
Running Bear, loved little White Dove,
He couldn't swim the raging river,
In the moonlight he could see her,
Running Bear, loved little White Dove,
Running Bear dove in the water,
As their hands touched, and their lips met,
Running Bear, loved little White Dove,
On the banks of the river,
stood Running Bear, young Indian brave.
On the other side of the river.
stood his lovely Indian maid.
such a lovely sight to see.
But their tribes fought with each other,
so their love could never be!
with a love big as the sky.
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove,
with a love that couldn't die!
'cause the river was too wide.
He couldn't reach Little White Dove,
waiting on the other side.
throwing kissed 'cross the waves.
Her little heart was beating faster,
waiting there for her brave.
with a love big as the sky.
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove,
with a love that couldn't die!
Little White Dove, did the same.
And they swam out to each other,
through the swirling stream they came.
the raging river pulled them down.
Now they'll always be together,
in that happy hunting ground.
with a love big as the sky.
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove,
with a love that couldn't die!
