Distant Drums Lyrics by Charley Pride
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(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...
