Miss Otis Regrets

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm

And she's sorry to be delayed

But last evening down at lover's lane

She strayed, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When she woke up and found

That her dream of love was gone, madam

She ran to the man

Who had lead her so far astray

And from under her velvet gown

She drew a gun and shot her lover down (he should have seen it coming), madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When the mob came and got her

And dragged her from the jail, madam

They strung her up

On the willow across the way

And the moment before she died

She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
