Key: 
       G                      
On the bank of the river stood 

         C                  G
Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood

     A7            D7
 his lovely Indian maid

       G                           
Little White Dove was her name, 

    C               G
such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each 

                D7               G
other, so their love could never be

CHORUS:

        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
