Miss Otis regrets that she's unable to lunch today, Madam
Miss Otis regrets that 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 that she's unable to lunch today
When she woke to find that her dream of love had died, Madam
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew her gun and shot her lover down, Madam
Miss Otis regrets that she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail
They strung her up on a willow across the way
But the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, Madam
Miss Otis regrets that she's unable to lunch today
