One, two, three, four

On the bank of 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, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other, so this 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 ragin′ river ′cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach a-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 there for her brave

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

Runnin′ 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 that happy hunting ground

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
