(J P Richardson)      On the banks 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   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 hands touched and their lips met   The ragin' river pulled them down   Now they'll always be together   In that happy hunting 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
