miss otis regrets (she's unable to have lunch today)

Singer:fitzgerald, ella

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 in 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 love 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 the old 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. miss otis regrets

she's unable to lunch today
