[00:23.65]On the banks of the river stood Running Bear,
[00:29.65]Young Indian brave.
[00:31.84]On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid.
[00:40.13]Little White Dove was her name.
[00:44.15]Such a lovely sight to see.
[00:48.24]But their tribes fought with each other
[00:52.35]So their love could never be.
[00:55.77]Chorus
[00:56.42]Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
[01:00.35]With a love as big as the sky.
[01:04.08]Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
[01:07.68]With a love that wouldn't die.
[01:13.47]He couldn't swim the ragging river
[01:17.75]'Cos the river was too wide.
[01:21.73]He couldn't reach his Little White Dove
[01:25.93]Waiting on the other side.
[01:30.02]In the moonlight he could see her
[01:34.04]Blowing kisses across the waves.
[01:38.16]Her little heart was beating faster
[01:42.13]Waiting there for her brave.
[01:46.13]Chorus
[02:03.67]Break
[02:37.74]Running Bear dove in the water.
[02:41.92]Little White Dove did the same.
[02:45.85]And they swam out to each other
[02:50.07]Through the swirling stream they came.
[02:54.25]As their hands touched and their lips met
[02:58.15]The ragging river pulled them down.
[03:02.34]Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground
[03:10.45]Chorus
[03:26.14]Break
[03:40.27]Chorus
[04:15.16]🎵
