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 love 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


Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
