Runnin' Bear
On the banks of the river stood runnin' bear, young Indian braveOn the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maidLittle white dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to seeBut their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be[Chorus]Runnin' bear loved little white dove with a love big as the skyRunnin' bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn't dieHe couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wideHe couldn't reach little white dove, waiting on the other sideIn the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the wavesHer little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her brave[Chorus]Runnin' bear dove in the water, little white dove did the sameAnd they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they cameAs their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them downNow they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground[Chorus](with a love that couldn't die)
