Running Bear Lyrics - George Jones

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 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 big as the sky 

Running Bear loved Little White Dove 

With a love that couldn't die. 

He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide 

He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting there on the other side 

In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves 

Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave.

Running Bear loved Little White Dove 

With a love big as the sky 

Running Bear loved Little White Dove 

With a love that couldn'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 raging river pulled them down 

Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground.
