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
