Running Bear - Back To The 50's, Johnny Preston

On the banks of the river stood Running Bear

Young Indian brave

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

Little White Dove was her name

Such a lovely sight to see

But their tribes fought with each other

So their love could never be

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love as big as the sky

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love that wouldn’t die

He couldn’t swim the ragging river

'Cos the river was too wide

He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove

Waiting on the other side

In the moonlight he could see her

Blowing kisses across the waves

Her little heart was beating faster

Waiting there for her brave

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love as big as the sky

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love that wouldn’t die

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 ragging river pulled them down

Now they’ll always be together in that happy hunting ground

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love as big as the sky

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love that wouldn’t die

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love as big as the sky

Running Bear, loved Little White Dove

With a love that wouldn’t die
