Miss Otis Regrets

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 in 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 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 When the mob came and got her And dragged her from the jail, Madam They strung her upon the old 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 today
