Distant Drums

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



And love me now, for now is all the time there may be



And 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



Who knows where or who can say?



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



And if you love me Mary, Mary marry me



Yes, if you love me Mary, Mary marry me
