Verse:
C On the bank of the river
Stood Running F Bear young Indian C brave
On the other side of the river stood his
D7 lovely Indian G maid
Little C White Dove was-a her name such a
F lovely sight to C see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their G love could never C be
Chorus:
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love big as the C sky
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love that couldn’t C die
Verse:
C He couldn’t swim the raging river cause the
F river was too C wide
He couldn’t reach Little White Dove
waiting D7 on the other G side
In the C moonlight he could see her
Throwing F kisses ‘cross the C waves
Her little heart was beating faster
waiting G there for her C brave
Chorus:
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love big as the C sky
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love that couldn’t C die
Verse:
C Running Bear dove in the water,
little F White Dove did the C same
And they swam out to each other
Through the D7 swirling stream they G came
As their C hands touched and their lips met
The raging F river pulled them C down
Now they’ll always be together in that
G happy hunting C ground
Chorus:
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love big as the C sky
Running F Bear loved Little C White Dove
With a G7 love that couldn’t C die
