Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
