Lyrics

Miss Otis Regrets

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

(Madam)

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

(Madam)

Sorry to be delayed

But last evening down at lover's lane, she strayed

Madam

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable

(Madam)

To lunch today

When she woke up and found

That her dream of love was gone

(Madam)

She ran, she ran to the man

Who had lead her astray

And from under her black velvet gown

She drew a gun and shot her lover down

Madam

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable, unable

Unable to lunch today

When the mob came and got her

And dragged her from the jail

They strung her up, up, up, up on the, oh

Willow across the way

And the moment before she died

She lifted her lovely head and cried

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Regrets

(Miss Otis regrets)

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable, she's unable

Unable, she's unable to lunch today
