Lyrics
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 had gone, mmm, madam
She ran to the man who had led her so very far astray, so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and she shot her lover down, yes she shot him, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
Don't you know that they
They dragged her from the jail, madam
And then they strung her out
On that old willow across the way, across the way
And you know I was there and I saw it
I'm telling you, just before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and she cried, yes she cried, madam
Miss Otis, she regrets she's unable to lunch today
Not today
