ON THE BANK 
OF THE RIVER 
STOOD RUNNING BEAR 

YOUNG INDIAN BRAVE 
ON THE OTHER 
SIDE OF THE RIVER 
STOOD HIS LOVELY 

INDIAN MAID 
LITTLE WHITE DOVE 
WAS HER NAME 
SUCH A LOVELY 

SIGHT TO SEE 
BUT THEIR TRIBES 
FOUGHT WITH 
EACH OTHER 

SO THEIR LOVE 
COULD NEVER BE 
RUNNING BEAR 
LOVED 

LITTLE WHITE DOVE 
WITH A LOVE 
BIG AS THE SKY 
RUNNING 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 

RUNNING BEAR 
LOVED 
LITTLE WHITE DOVE 
WITH A LOVE 

BIG AS THE SKY 
RUNNING BEAR 
LOVED 
LITTLE WHITE DOVE 

WITH A LOVE 
THAT COULDN'T DIE 
RUNNING 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 RAGING RIVER 
PULLED THEM DOWN 
AND NOW 

THEY'LL ALWAYS 
BE TOGETHER 
IN THAT HAPPY 
HUNTIN' GROUND 

RUNNING BEAR 
LOVED 
LITTLE WHITE DOVE 
WITH A LOVE 

BIG AS THE SKY 
RUNNING BEAR 
LOVED 
LITTLE WHITE DOVE 

WITH A LOVE 
THAT COULDN'T DIE
