Distant Drums Lyrics By Jim Reeves

    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 blow
    far away far away
    and if they call then i must go
    across the sea so wild and grey

    so mary marry me let’s not wait
    for the distant drums might change our wedding date
    and love me now for now is all the time there may be
    if you love me mary mary marry me
