Beat the Drum

She was my sweetheart, my lady
Beat the drum, beat the drum
The two step loud and blaring
Colors ablaze in the evening
She was the pride of the summer that year
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
It's good to be young and daring

Beat the drum, beat the drum
It's good to be young

Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
The air was still down the stormy hills
Beat the drum

Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong

I still hear the snares in the square
Beat the drum, beat the drum

It's good to be young and daring

Beat the drum, beat the drum
We walked to Black Rock and stopped by the Loch
It's good to be young and daring
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong

Beat the drum, beat the drum

She was the pride of the summer that year
It's good to be young
We walked hand and hand to the beat of the band
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Across the bay I can still hear the strains
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Beat the drum
It's good to be young
Like a heartbeat
It's good to be young and daring
It's good to be young and daring
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
