A Little About This Song…

Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be? is also called “Johnny’s So Long at the Fair”; it’s based on a traditional English nursery rhyme that can be traced back as far as the late 18th century. 100 years later, suffragette L. May Wheeler wrote a memorable version of lyrics during the drive to give women the vote.
