On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never
with a love big as the sky
Runnin' fair, love little white dove
With a love that couldn't die
He couldn't swim the ragin' river,
cause the river was too wide
waitin' on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
throwin' kisses across the way
Her little heart was beatin' faster,
waitin' there for a brave runnin' bear.
with a love as big as the sky,
with a love that couldn't die,
Dove in the water, little white dove,
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 that happy hunting ground.
Runnin' bare, loved a little white dove
With a love as big as the sky
Runnin' bare, loved a little white dove
With a love that couldn't die
