Текст песни Miss Otis Regrets - Ella Fitzgerald

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She's 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 to day

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail
Madam, they strung her apron in the 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
