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 grey

So Mary, marry me
Let's not wait
For the 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
