G
On the bank of a river
C G
Stood Running Bear young Indian Brave
On the other side of the water
A D
Stood his lovely Indian maid
G
Little White Dove was-a her name
C G
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
D G
So their love could never be
C G
Running Bear loved little White Dove
D G
With a love big as the sky
C G
Running Bear loved little White Dove
D G
With a love that couldn’t die
G
He couldn’t swim the raging river
C G
Cause the river was to wide
He couldn’t reach little white dove
A D
Waiting on the other side
G
In the moonlight he could see her
C G
Blowing kisses across the waves
And her heart was beating faster
D G
Waiting for her Indian brave
C G
Running Bear loved little White Dove
D G
With a love big as the sky
C G
Running Bear loved little White Dove
A G
With a love that couldn’t die
G
Running Bear dove in the water
C G
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
A D
Through the swirling stream they came
G
As their hands touched and their lips met
C G
The raging river pulled them down
Now they’ll always be together
D G
In that happy hunting ground
C G
Running Bear loved little White Dove

With a love big as the sky
