Distant Drums
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
