Verse 1
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Three old women tied to an apple tree!
One ran away, the others stopped till Saturday,
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Verse 2
Oh dear what can the matter be?
Johnny's so long at the fair!
He promised to buy me a basket of linen,
A little straw hat and a bunch of blue ribbon,
Before he had spent his very last shilling;
Oh dear! what can the matter be?
