As recorded by George Jones (From the 1962 Abum THE NEW FAVORITES OF GEORGE JONES) [Intro] N.C. [Verse 1]
       C                               F                  C
On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave

                                         D             G
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid

       C                               F               C
Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see

                                                  G7               C
But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be
[Chorus]
        F                 C
Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G               C
With a love big as the sky

            F                 C
And Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G                  C
With a love that couldn't die
[Verse 2]
            C                                F             C
He couldn't swim the raging river 'cause the river was too wide

                                                      D            G
He couldn't reach the Little White Dove waiting there on the other side

       C                                   F                 C
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves

                                            G             C
Her little heart was beating faster waiting there for her brave
[Chorus]
        F                 C
Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G               C
With a love big as the sky

            F                 C
And Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G                  C
With a love that couldn't die
[Verse 3]
        C                              F                       C
Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove, she did the same

                                            D7                   G
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came

         C                                            F                C
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled 'em down

                                        G             C
Now they'll always be together in their happy hunting ground
[Chorus]
        F                 C
Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G               C
With a love big as the sky

            F                 C
And Running Bear loved Little White Dove

       G                  C
With a love that couldn't die
[Outro] C
