Running Bear

(by J P Richardson, The Big Bopper)

On the banks 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-a 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 Little White Dove, waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting there for her 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 ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together in that happy hunting ground

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
