Running Bear
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
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
G C G
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide
A7 D7
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting on the other side
G C G
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
D7 G
Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave
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
G C G
Running Bear dove in the water Little White Dove did the same
A7 D7
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came
G C
As their hands touched and their lips met the raging river pulled them
G
down
D7 G
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground
