Rufus Wainwright 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 at Lover's Lane she strayed, Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today

When she woke and found that her dream of love was gone, Madam
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray
And from underneath 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 down and grabbed her from the jail
They tied her up on the tree down along the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her little head and cried, Madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
