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
