I hear the sound of distant 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 gray

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
