Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

Madam...
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

She is 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 from her dream
And found that her love was gone

Madam...
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray

And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down

Madam...
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail

Madam...
They strung her upon a willow across the way, oh

And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried

Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable
To lunch
Today
