Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable To Lunch Today) Lyrics
Miss Otis Regrets (She's Unable To Lunch Today) - Jimmie Lunceford
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
