[Verse 1]
D G D
On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
E A
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
D G D
Little White Dove was-a her name, she’s such a lovely sight to see
A D D7
But 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 sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn't die
[Verse 2]
D G D
He couldn't swim the raging river ‘cause the river was too wide
E A
He couldn't reach his Little White Dove, she was waiting on the other side
D G D
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
A D D7
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting for her Indian brave
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
D G D
Runnin' Bear jumped in the water, Little White Dove did the same
E A
And they swam out to each other, through the swirling stream they came
D G D
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
A D D7
Now they'll always be together in the happy hunting ground
[Chorus]

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