Distant drums - Jim Reeves tribute (cover)

Cover version by Pequinito.
Words and music by Cindy Walker.

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 gray
So Mary marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me

is this recorded by the cramp's ?.

Not to my knowledge - I believe it was first recorded by Roy Orbison on the flip side of Falling in 1963

Nice job Pequinito. Keep singing, it's great for the soul.

[Pequinito]

Thank you, kennygee, appreciate it from a fellow Jim Reeves fan... your cover is the best version I've heard on Youtube, keep it up :)

I agree with bobu46

[bobu46]

Sounds a little bit bored - but why ??

[bobu46]

I like all his songs - but this one Charly Pride did better !!

[carterson2]

I thought this was written by a "Dr Pruett" in West Virginia?

Anyone know anything of that?
