On the bank 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 a-her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
(Chorus)
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that could never die.
