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 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 shot her lover down, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When the mob came and got her, and dragger her from the jail, madam
They strung her up on the old willow across the way
And the moment before she died, she lifted up her lovely head and sighed, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
