Distant Drums
Cindy Walker
Key: D
96 BPM

I hear the sound of distant drums,
Far a-way, far a-way.
And if they call for me to go.
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, marry me.

I hear the of bugles blow.
Far a-way, far a-way.
And if they call for me to go,
A-cross the sea, so wild and gray.

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, marry me.

Instrumental of chorus

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, marry me.

If you love me Mary, marry, marry me.
