Distant Drums

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

And love me now

For now is all the time there may be

And 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

Who knows where or who can say?

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

And if you love me

Mary, Mary marry me

Yes if you love me

Mary, Mary marry me
