|
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 date
|
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
|
If you love me Mary, Mary marry me
|
