Jon Betmead - Miss Otis Regrets

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 night down on lovers' lane she strayed

Oh, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

When she woke up and found

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 she shot her lover down

Oh, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

The mob they came and dragged her

They came and dragged her from the jail

Oh, madam

And they strung her upon

That old willow across the way

And the moment before she died

She lifted up her lovely head and she cried

Oh, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today
