What is the name of the fifties rock and roll song about a native american Indian?

I think it starts with the line "on the banks of the river..." I don;t know the artist or the song title

What is the name of the fifties rock and roll song about a native american Indian?
(J.P. Richardson)





On the bank 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 big as the sky


Running Bear loved Little White Dove


With a love that couldn't die





He couldn't swim the raging river


'Cause the river was too wide


He couldn't reach the Little White Dove


Waiting on the other side


In the moonlight he could see her


Throwing kisses 'cross the waves


Her little heart was beating faster


Waiting for her Indian brave





Running Bear loved Little White Dove


With a love big as the sky


Running Bear loved Little White Dove


With a love that couldn'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 raging river pulled them down


Now they'll always be together


In their happy hunting ground





Running Bear loved Little White Dove


With a love big as the sky


Running Bear loved Little White Dove


With a love that couldn't die
