Miss Otis Regrets
Tragic Tale of Love and Retribution: Miss Otis Regrets
Lyrics
"oh, hi! is miss Otis in?"
Visitor asking for Miss Otis
"miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."
Miss Otis cannot have lunch today
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam.
Reiteration of Miss Otis being unable to lunch
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmmmmm.
Repetition of Miss Otis's regret for being unable to lunch
And she's sorry to be delayed,
Expressing apology for being late
But last evening down at lover's lane
Referring to a romantic location
She strayed, madam.
Miss Otis strayed at Lover's Lane
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Miss Otis reiterates her inability to lunch
When she woke up and found
Miss Otis discovering the end of her love dream
That her dream of love was gone, madam,
Realization that her love dream is over
She ran to the man
Running to the man who led her astray
Who had lead her so far astray.
Reaching out to the one responsible for her heartbreak
And from under her velvet gown
Miss Otis revealing a concealed gun
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam.
She shoots her lover under her gown
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Miss Otis reiterates her inability to lunch
When the mob cam and got her
Mob capturing Miss Otis
And dragged her from the jail, madam,
Being taken from jail by the mob
They strung her up
Miss Otis being hanged on a willow tree
On the willow across the way.
Execution of Miss Otis
And the moment before she died
Moment before Miss Otis's death
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam.
Miss Otis crying before her demise
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch.
Reiteration of Miss Otis's inability to lunch
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
Final repetition of Miss Otis's regret for not having lunch
