Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable To Lunch Today) (Live At The Great American Music Hall/1976)

"Miss Otis Regrets"

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

She is so sorry, to be delayed

For last evening down in lover's lane

She strayed, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

When she woke up from her dream

And she found out her lover had 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 that lover down, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch, today

When the mob came and they got her

Hey, they dragged her from the jail, madam

They strung her up on

Across the way

And the moment, just before she died

She lifted up her lovely head

And she cried, madam

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today
