Distant Drums

Written by：Cindy Walker

I hear the sound

Of distant 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

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 blowing

Far away

Far away

And if they call

Then I must go

Across the sea

So wild and gray

So Mary marry me

Let's not wait

For the 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
