Lyrics

[00:04.44] On the banks of the river
[00:06.98]
[00:08.15] Stood Running Bear young Indian brave
[00:10.94]
[00:12.32] On the other side of the river
[00:15.09]
[00:16.36] Stood his lovely Indian maid
[00:18.87]
[00:20.41] Little White Dove was her name
[00:23.19]
[00:24.30] Such a lovely sight to see
[00:27.05]
[00:28.33] But their tribes fought with each other
[00:31.08]
[00:32.35] So their love could never be
[00:34.90]
[00:36.39] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[00:39.42]
[00:40.63] With a love as big as the sky
[00:43.77]
[00:44.61] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[00:47.73]
[00:48.86] With a love that couldn't die
[00:51.49]
[00:52.59] He couldn't swim the raging river
[00:55.35]
[00:56.99] 'Cause the river it was too wide
[01:00.00]
[01:00.70] He couldn't reach little White Dove
[01:03.52]
[01:04.78] Waiting there on the other side
[01:07.45]
[01:08.75] In the moonlight he could see her
[01:11.79]
[01:12.74] Throwing kisses 'cross the wave
[01:15.54]
[01:16.59] Her little heart was beating faster
[01:19.35]
[01:20.81] Waiting there for her brave
[01:23.91]
[01:24.94] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[01:27.64]
[01:29.02] With a love as big as the sky
[01:31.80]
[01:32.88] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[01:36.24]
[01:37.34] With a love that couldn't die
[01:39.75]
[01:41.13] Running Bear dove in the water
[01:43.91]
[01:45.11] Little White Dove she did the same
[01:48.08]
[01:49.09] As they swam out to each other
[01:51.87]
[01:52.95] Through the swirling stream they came
[01:55.97]
[01:57.05] Now their hands touched and their lips met
[02:00.28]
[02:00.95] The swirling river it pulled them down
[02:03.98]
[02:05.01] Now they'll always be together
[02:08.57]
[02:09.28] In their happy hunting ground
[02:11.84]
[02:13.65] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[02:16.36]
[02:17.36] With a love as big as the sky
[02:20.46]
[02:21.17] Running Bear loved little White Dove
[02:24.22]
[02:25.45] With a love that couldn't die
