Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be by Terry Callier Lyrics

[Chorus]
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Oh dear, dear, what can the matter be?
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Johnny's so long at the fair
My Johnny's so long at the fair

[Verse]
He promised to buy her a sack of blue ribbon
To tie up her bonny brown hair

[Chorus]
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Oh dear, dear, what can the matter be?
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Johnny's so long at the fair
Johnny's so long at the fair

[Verse]
He promised he'd buy her a sack of blue ribbon
To tie up her bonny brown hair
