Who killed Davey Moore?
How come he died, and what`s the reason for?
Not I says the referee.
Don´t point your little finger at me.
Sure I could have stopped it in the eighth
and saved him from this terrible fate,
but the crowd would have booed I´m sure,
at not getting their money´s worth.
Too bad he had to go,
but there is pressure on me you know,
no, it wasn´t us that made him fall,
you can´t blame me at all.

Not I says the angry crowd,
whose screams fill the ring aloud,
says too bad he died that night,
but we just like to see a good fight,
you can´t blame us for his death,
we just like to see some sweat,
there ain´t nothing wrong in that,
no, it wasn´t us that made him fall,
you can´t blame us at all.

Not I says the manager, puffing on his big cigar,
it´s hard to say, it´s hard to tell,
always thought that he was well,
too bad for his wife and kids he´s dead,
but if he was sick he should have said,
no, you can´t blame me at all,
it wasn´t me that made him fall.

Not I says the boxing writer,
Pounding his print on his old typwriter,
says boxing ain`t to blame,
there is just as much danger in the football game,
says boxing is here to stay,
it´s just the old American way,
no, it wasn´t me that made him fall,
you can´t blame me at all.

How come he died, and what`s the reason for?
Not I says the man whose fists
laid him low of a cloud of mist,
who came here from Cuba´s door,
where boxing ain´t allowed no more,
i hit him, yes, it´s true,
but that´s what I was paid to do,
don´t say murder,
don´t say kill,
it was destiny, it was God´s will.
