 Here's a song about an evening in York Haven and what occurred there sometime around the turn of the century.  Sky Walker Victoria Mowrer 2022 Everybody Inn Black cat floppin' like a leaf in the wind Flappin' like a black rag Everybody Inn, Everybody Inn Smack upside the river Pagan John explains himself To a crowd of his disciples They all file in after the fight And he shows off his black eye Yeah, Pagan John explains hisself To the close inner circle of his disciples He says "Here's the way ya hit 'em An' here's the way they die!" Black cat floppin' like a leaf in the wind Flappin' like a black rag Everybody Inn, Everybody Inn Smack against the river An' John's girl Mona Lisa smiles To no one in particular She's thinkin' "Fire and ice tonight" To on one in particular Pagan John's girl Mona Lisa smiles To no one in particular She's thinkin' "Fire and Ice tonight Got Icelandic eyes tonight" Black cat floppin' like a leaf in the wind Flappin' like a rag Everybody Inn, Everybody Inn Smack upside the river Smack upside the river You see me standin' there My back against the money machine I ask you to dance, and when we do we almost touch Like we did before You see me standin' there Right next to the puppet machine And when we dance we almost touch Like we almost did before Black cat floppin' like a leaf in the wind Flappin' back an' forth like a black rag Everybody Inn, Everybody Inn Upside the river Gentleman Jim curses under his breath "You want water, you got water" And the tasselled lady twirls and all the girls go "Ahhh!" Barman Jim curses under his breath, Says "You want water, I gotcher water" And the tasselled lady twirls and all the girls go "Ahhh!" Black cat floppin' like a leaf Flappin' like a black rag Everybody Inn And the stars recline like a fallen archer over the water |
