Miss Otis Regrets(She's Unable To Lunch Today) - Jimmie Lunceford and His Orchestra

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 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 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

They strung her upon

A 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 today
