Running Bear

Running Bear - The Youngbloods

On the the river stood Runnin' Bear young Indian brave

On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid

Little White Dove was-a her name she's such a lovely sight to see

But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky

Runnin' 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 his Little White Dove she was 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

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky

Yeah Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die

Runnin' Bear jumped 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 ragin' river pulled them down

Now they'll always be together in the happy hunting ground

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove yeah with a love big as the sky

Well now Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky

Oh now Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die
