Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

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 on Lovers 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 dragged her from the jail 

Madam 

Then strung her upon the old willow 'cross the way 

And the moment before she died 

She lifted up her lovely head and cried 

Madam 

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today 

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
