Distant Drums

(Cindy Walker)



I hear the sound of distand drums

Far away, far away

And if they call for me to come

Then I must go and you must stay.



So Mary, marry me, let's not wait

Let's share all the time we can before it's too late

And love me now for now is all the time there may be

If you love me Mary, Mary marry me.



I hear the sound of bugles blow

Far away, far away

And if they call then I must go

Across the sea so wild and free.



So Mary, marry me, let's not wait

For those distant drums might change our wedding day

And love me now for now is all the time there may be

If you love me Mary, Mary marry me...
