Oh dear what can the matter be
Oh 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 fair ring 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 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 to buy me a pair of sleeve buttons
A pair of new garters that cost him but tuppence
He promised he'd bring me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonny brown hair
And it's 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
And it's 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
