Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch todayShe is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down at lovers lane, she strayed
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch todayWhen she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone
Madam...
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astrayAnd from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch todayThen the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail
Madam...
They strung her upon
A willow across the wayAnd the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
