Miss Otis regrets she’s unable to lunch today
Madam Miss Otis regrets she’s unable to lunch today
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
(So far astray)
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down
(Yes, she did, she shot him)
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
(Yes, they did)
(But you know that) just before she died
(I was there and I saw it, yes I did)
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”
