George Jones - Running Bear Lyrics
On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian braveOn the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maidLittle White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to seeBut their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be.Running Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love big as the skyRunning Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love that couldn't die.He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wideHe couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting there on the other sideIn the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the wavesHer little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave.Running Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love big as the skyRunning Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love that couldn't die.Running 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 raging river pulled them downNow they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground.Running Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love big as the skyRunning Bear loved Little White DoveWith a love that couldn't die...
