BigStewMan Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I was listening to Virgin Radio London on the internet and they played a song that I have been endlessly searching the internet to find out what it was. I have VERY little to go on; but, it sounded like it was a 60's English song, and the only lyrics that I can remember are the words "Injun" and maybe "milk." Not much to go on; but, it's one of those things that is bugging me like crazy--it has become a quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Burch Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This song was a number #1 record in 1959............if you will put in Song "Running Bear and Little White Dove" It is on U-Tube..........I think Brad Paisley covered it later.......But orginal is Johnny Preston......he died.

Bill H. Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 RUNNING BEAR(J.P. Richardson)Johnny Preston (Mercury 71474, 1959 On the banks of the river Stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave On the other side of the river Stood his lovely Indian maid Little White Dove was-a her name Such a lovely sight to see But their tribes fought with each other So their love could never be Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove With a love big as the sky Runnin' 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 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 there for her brave Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove With a love big as the sky Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove With a love that couldn't die Runnin' 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 ragin' river pulled them down Now they'll always be together In that happy hunting ground Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove With a love big as the sky Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove With a love that couldn't die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks guys! I like the song! It is set to tom toms with the singer sounding like singing with megaphone! Heard it on a PBS channel, a movie about a famous Brit political who's career went down around ladies of the night, who performed to the song, at a ahum, gent's club in London. True Story set in early 60(?). *BigStewMan may have found his song too! Hope so! Not meant as a h-jack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 i appreciate the effort guys--sadly, that wasn't the song. I hope I don't have to move to London to hear it again. When I heard it, it was before the days of the iphone; but, my brother has one and that application where you hold the phone to the speaker and it tells you the name of the song and the artist--we tried it out and it worked everytime. If I only had it back then. The hard part is that I RARELY listen to the radio--I guess I'll have to just to increase my chances of hearing the song again.

emdeebee Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 How about "Mind Excursion" from the Trade Winds? It's not british, but it is from the 60's and has "injun" in the lyrics. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 That would be Cups and Cakes by Spinal Tap MN. Cups and cakes, cups and cakes Oh what good things mother makes! You've gotta take tea, won't you take it with me? What a gay time it will be Cups and cakes, cups and cakes Please make sure that nothing breaks The china's so dear and the treacle so clear And I'm glad that you are here Milk and sugar, bread and jam "Yes please, sir" and "Thank you, ma'am" Here I am Cups and cakes, cups and cakes I'm so full my tummy aches How sad it must end But I'm glad I'd a friend Sharing cups and cakes with me And cakes with me...
