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
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie 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 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
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 bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
He promised to buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie 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
