G                               C                  G 
On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave 
                                         A7            D7 
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid 
       G                               C               G 
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see 
                                                  D7               G 
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be 


 
Refrão -------------
        C                 G 
Running Bear loved Little White Dove 
       D7              G 
With a love big as the sky 
        C                 G 
Running Bear loved Little White Dove 
       D7                 G 
With a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide 
He couldn't reach the 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 for her Indian brave 
 
CHORUS 
 
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 
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground 
 
CHORUS
