Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be?

Oh dear what can the matter be

Dear dear what can the matter be

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Johnny’s so long at the fair

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Dear dear what can the matter be

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Johnny’s so long at the fair

He promised he’d buy me a gift that would please me

And then for a kiss oh he vowed he would tease me

He promised he’d buy me a bunch of blue ribbons

To tie up my bonny brown hair

He promised he’d buy me a gift that would please me

And then for a kiss oh he vowed he would tease me

He promised he’d buy me a bunch of blue ribbons

To tie up my bonny brown hair

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Dear dear what can the matter be

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Johnny’s so long at the fair

He promised he’d bring me a basket of posies

A garland of lilies a garland of roses

A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons

That tie up my bonny brown hair

He promised he’d bring me a basket of posies

A garland of lilies a garland of roses

A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons

That tie up my bonny brown hair

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Dear dear what can the matter be

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Johnny’s so long at the fair.

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Dear dear what can the matter be

Oh Dear what can the matter be

Johnny’s so long at the fair.

Johnny’s so long at the fair.

Johnny’s so long at the fair.
