Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be

O dear, what can the matter be?

Dear, dear, what can the matter be?

O dear, what can the matter be?

Johnny's so long at the fair.

He promised he'd buy me a fairing should please me,

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

He promised he'd bring me a bunch of blue ribbons

To tie up my bonny brown hair.

And it's O dear, what can the matter be?

Dear, dear, what can the matter be?

O dear, what can the matter be?

Johnny's so long at the fair.
