<br/>
Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not I," says the referee,<br />"Don't point your finger at me.<br />I could've stopped it in the eighth<br />An' maybe kept him from his fate,<br />( )<br />But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure,<br />At not gettin' their money's worth.<br />It's too bad he had to go,<br />But there was a pressure on me too, you know.<br />It wasn't me that made him fall.<br />No, you can't blame me at all."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not us," says the angry crowd,<br />Whose screams filled the arena loud.<br />"It's too bad he died that night<br />But we just like to see a fight.<br />We didn't mean for him t' meet his death,<br />We just meant to see some sweat,<br />There ain't nothing wrong in that.<br />It wasn't us that made him fall.<br />No, you can't blame us at all."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not me," says his manager,<br />Puffing on a big cigar.<br />"It's hard to say, it's hard to tell,<br />I always thought that he was well.<br />It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead,<br />But if he was sick, he should've said.<br />It wasn't me that made him fall.<br />No, you can't blame me at all."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not me," says the gambling man,<br />With his ticket stub still in his hand.<br />"It wasn't me that knocked him down,<br />My hands never touched him none.<br />I didn't commit no ugly sin,<br />Anyway, I put money on him to win.<br />It wasn't me that made him fall.<br />No, you can't blame me at all."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not me," says the boxing writer,<br />Pounding print on his old typewriter,<br />Sayin', "Boxing ain't to blame,<br />There's just as much danger in a football game."<br />Sayin', "Fist fighting is here to stay,<br />It's just the old American way.<br />It wasn't me that made him fall.<br />No, you can't blame me at all."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br /><br />"Not me," says the man whose fists<br />Laid him low in a cloud of mist,<br />Who came here from Cuba's door<br />Where boxing ain't allowed no more.<br />"I hit him, yes, it's true,<br />But that's what I am paid to do.<br />Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.'<br />It was destiny, it was God's will."<br /><br />Who killed Davey Moore,<br />Why an' what's the reason for?<br />
