Looking for the words to this old song if anyone remembers them. I
think it was recorded by Johnny Preston

RUNNING BEAR

On the bank of the river stood Running Bear young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Across the river he could see her what a lovely sight to see
But their tribes they faught 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 wouldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river cause the river was to wide
He couldn't reach his little white dove waiting on the other side
In the moon light he could see her blowing kisses across the waves
Her little heart was beating faster waiting for her Indian brave

(Chorus)

Running Bear dove in the water Little White Dove did the same
As 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

(Chorus)
