The first time I heard this song I played it in a bar, just out of curiosity, and played it every time I went to the bar, after awhile the bartender got sick of it, This is one of the best videos I have seen, I love it!
I distinctly remember my sister, mother and myself lying on our living room floor listening to this song and mom writing the lyrics in shorthand so sis and I could learn the words. It's nice to hear and - just for a moment - be a ten year old again!
my mom got me into this song! She played it when I was young. My future husband is 97% chereokee....she thinks its funny, because I called him teddy bear, and he calls me angel. She pick this song for us. :)
Woah. Totally not expecting to see one of my dad's paintings in the vid at 1:17, except she's cut out of the forest she's meant to be praying in. I remember listening to this song as a kid on the local 'oldies' station and thinking how heartbreakingly beautiful it was. I'd sit on the floor in my room imagining the story. Either that or run around pretending to be Little White Dove haha
@mljules Sorry your dad's lady was not in her "home" but that is how the picture was when I found it on Google. It sure does help show this beautifuly sad story with all the other images.
Looking at your channel I can see that your dad passed on his creativity to you.
@Rikkyhardo Ah that is the nature of the interwebs. I do like these romanticized images, they go well with the song and help tell the story Yes, he's a man of many talents. I don't like to limit myself to one thing, so I've got that from him. Dreams? Not quite, but that theatricality plays well for me to this day :)
good ole song by Johnny Preston, a favorite of mine that brings back good memories of years gone by. liked your video very much --- thanks for sharing
Lisa, life was that river but maybe we've crossed that river now we've met again, so now I can call you my white dove,and ill like to be your brave,big smile DWJ.
This song actually made me cry!!! Not because of the song. I've heard it at least a hundred times or more. it's the way you put the video together and showed them meeting in the middle and going down. And then the photos with the wolves in the background. That was a special heart-tug. My best friend for 19 years was a wolf dog! He died from that damned Chinese wheat gluten that was poisoned and there was that huge food recall. It wasn't recalled fast enough for my baby!!!
My dad says they're stupid; they were on different sides of the river but for their tribes to fight with each other, the river would've had to be shallower some where.
This songs makes me think about how badly the early settlers and the US government treated the Indians. Instead of learning how to take care of the earth from the Indians who held the earth dear we wiped them out, putem on reservations and then proceeded to pollute the air land and seas and now we're in such overwhelming debt we are going to have to forclose on our nation. Peace.
Recently I awoke singing this song, 4 sum odd reason~I desperately searched for it 'n so glad I found ur remdition~Love the photo's they move so fluidly w/the song/lyrics~Very Nicely Done!!~Brings back lot of memories 4 me 2~It's a great song for couples 'n wuld b awesome 2 have it played @ one's wedding!~This is such a fun song that inspires the soul & warms the heart~Thank You so Vry Much 4 sharing ur video w/us you did an awesome job!!~KEEP ROCKIN IN THE USA! Hooowaaah! ~,,,/ ~,,,/
i was taught this song in year 2 when i was 7 years old, 10 years ago, and i still remember every word of it and i havnt listened to it till now, glad i remembered it, i get around the house singing it, but could never find it :) xx thanks and geat video
I listened to this frequently in "Zoology" class. Got caught finally and got a swat ! One of the background singers on this tune was a famous "country singer." I can't remember his name though??? Your pix are spendid. Thanx for the post !
Yes memories. Nice video. Was recently thinking of the traditional tale associated with Niagra Falls. Again a young brave and maiden from 2 opposing tribes. As I recall, they took a canoe together over the Falls.
@Armegeddon221 My Language arts teacher showed me this and i just had to listen to it again because I love this song like Running Bear loves little white dove(:
You can just feel how much love they must have had for each other in this song. It wrenches my heart everytime I listen to it. This song can be sad or it show you that true love knows no bounds!
This song popped into my head this morning, and I couldn't remember the lyrics. A search turned up this gem. Thanks, Rikkyhardo, for putting together this great piece. The pictures add so much!

This is a great song with awesome paintings! I am only 26, but I remember listening to this on the oldies radio station with my parents on the way to school or vacationing. I really like this song a lot! Thanks for the flashback! The paintings go very well with the lyrics!! :-)
HaHa I am like 12 and me and my mom and my grandma used to sing this song in the car and I used to know all the word when I was like 4 lol.. Im starting to remember them again :D I liike thiis Song !
