Running Bear
recorded by Sonny James
(G)On the bank of a river
Stood Running (C)Bear young Indian (G)Brave
On the other side of the water
Stood his (A)lovely Indian (D)maid
Little (G)White Dove was-a her name
Such a (C)lovely sight to (G)see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their (D)love could never (G)be
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (D)love big as the (G)sky
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (D)love that couldn't (G)die
(G)He couldn't swim the raging river
Cause the (C)river was to (G)wide
He couldn't reach little white dove
Waiting (A)on the other (D)side
In the (G) moonlight he could see her
Blowing (C) kisses across the (G)waves
And her heart was beating faster
Waiting (D) for her Indian (G)brave
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (D)love big as the (G)sky
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (A)love that couldn't (G)die
(G)Running Bear dove in the water
Little (C)White Dove did the (G)same
And they swam out to each other
Through the (A) swirling stream they (D)came
As their (G)hands touched and their lips met
The raging (C)river pulled them (G)down
Now they'll always be together
In that (D)happy hunting (G)ground
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (D)love big as the (G)sky
Running (C)Bear loved little (G)White Dove
With a (D)love that couldn't (G)die
