Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening down at lover's lane, she strayed
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love was gone
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
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail
They strung her up
On a willow across the way, oh
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today, today
