Oh Dear! What Can The Matter Be?

Chorus
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 trinket to please me
And then for a smile, he vowed he would tease me
He promised to bring me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair.

He promised to bring me a basket of posies
A garland of lilies, a gift of red roses
A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons
That tie up my bonnie brown hair.
