R.: Oh, dear me! Johnny's so long at the fair. Oh, dear! Oh dear me! Oh, dear! what can the matter be? He promised he'd buy me a fairing should please me, He promised he'd bring me a bunch of blue ribbons, And it's oh, dear! what can the matter be? He promised he'd bring me a basket of posies A little straw hat to set off the blue ribbons, And it's Oh, dear! what can the matter be? And then for a kiss, oh! he vow'd he would tease me, Oh dear me! To tie up my bonny brown hair. Oh, dear, me! Dear, dear, me. Oh, dear me. A garland of lilies, a garland of roses, Oh, dear me! that tie up my bonny brown hair. Oh, dear me! Dear, dear me!
