I hear the sound of distand drums far away far away
And when 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
So 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 when they call then I must go across the sea so wild and grey
So Mary marry me let's not wait
For those distant drums might change our wedding day
Please love me now for now is all the time there may be
If you love me Mary Mary marry me
