Distant Drums Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

I hear the sound of distant drums 

Far away, far away 

And when 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 

So 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 when they call then I must go 

Across the sea so wild and gray 

So Mary, marry me, let's not wait 

For those distant drums 

Might change our wedding day 

Please love me now for now 

Is all the time there may be 

If you love me, Mary, Mary marry me
