What Can The Matter Be?

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 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 buy me a bunch of blue ribbons
To tie up my bonnie brown hair
Chorus (Repeat)
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 bonnie brown hair
Chorus
