The Pogues - Miss Otis Regrets Lyrics

The Pogues Lyrics

"Miss Otis Regrets"

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 on 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
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."
