Labelle - Miss Otis Regrets lyrics

rate me

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"
