On the bank of the river,
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 male, a little white dove
With a love big as the sky
Runnin' down a little white dove
With a love that couldn't lie
He couldn't swim the raging river
Cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach little white dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwin' kisses across the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting there for her brave
Runnin' bare, love little white dove
With her love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Duck
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Duck 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 ra ging river pulled them down.
Now they'll always be together
in that happy hunting ground.
Runnin' male, a little white girl
With a love big as the sky
Runnin' male, a little white girl
With a love that couldn't die you
