Big Bopper, Johnny Preston, Link Davis - Running Bear

Текст песни

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 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 as big as the sky
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love that wouldn’t die
He couldn’t swim the ragging river
'Cos the river was too wide
He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Blowing kisses across the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting there for her brave
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love that wouldn’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 ragging river pulled them down
Now they’ll always be together in that happy hunting ground
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love that wouldn’t die
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love as big as the sky
Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
With a love that wouldn’t die
