for Magic the cat, of Wewahitchka, Florida, who was poisoned to death by a neighbor of his owner (a friend of Arianna's)

lyrics

a Wewa cat named Magic yesterday
choked on a poison chicken
fresh from old man Wallace's yard
as I mourn I see Magic once again
restin' high up in the Tupelo
his long tail swingin' in the breeze below
I ask him if he remembers
the day he showed up at my door
and if he'll come back to visit anymore
he says "I once heard 'thou shalt love thy neighbor'
and 'the land is yours and all of ours to share.'
You think I'm dead, but I'm not going anywhere.
You think I'm dead, but I'm not going anywhere!"
