English Songs for Children Oh, Dear, What Can The Matter Be? Lyrics
(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, oh, he vowed he would tease me; He promised to bring me a bunch of blue ribbons, To tie up my bonny brown hair.
(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 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.
(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.
