Miss Otis Regrets (Live At The Carlyle)

- Bobby Short

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

Madam Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today

And she's sorry to be delayed

But last evening down at

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 lead 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 they strung her up

On the willow across 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

Miss Otis regrets

She's unable to lunch today
