Miss Otis Regrets

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
She's so sorry to be delayed
But last evening down in Lovers' Lane she say, madam
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today"

When she found last night that her dream of love had gone, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew the gun and shot her lover down, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When the mob came and got her and
They dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her up to the willow across the way
But the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today"
