Miss Otis Regrets

Miss Otis Regrets - Van Morrison (范·莫里森)/Joey DeFrancesco

Written by：Cole Porter

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

She said she's sorry to be delayed

But last night down in lover's lane

She strayed madam

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When she woke up in the morning she found

That her dream of love was gone madam

She ran to the man who had led her so far astray 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 county jail well well well madam

They strung her upon that old that old weeping weeping weeping willow tree

Yet from the moment before she died

She lifted up her lovely head and she cried

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to make it today oh madam

Miss Otis regrets Otis regrets

Miss Otis regets he's unable to play today

Miss Otis regrets she's can't make it today make it today

Oh madam oh madam
