  A

   On the bank of the river

                D                  A

  Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave

  On the other side of the river

            B7            E7

  Stood his lovely Indian maid

         A

  Little White Dove was a-her name

         D               A

  Such a lovely sight to see

  But their tribes fought with each other

           E7               A

  So their love could never be

  

  CHORUS:

          D                 A

  Running Bear loved Little White Dove

         E7              A

  With a love big as the sky

          D                 A

  Running Bear loved Little White Dove

         E7                 A

  With a love that couldn't die

  

  Verse 2:

  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

  

  (chorus)

  

  Verse 3:

  Running Bear jumped in the river

  Little White Dove did the same

  And they swam to each other

  'Cross 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 hunting ground

  

  (chorus)

  (chanting, fading out)
