Pete Seeger - Who k**ed Davey Moore? lyrics

Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it? "Not I," says the referee "Don't point your little finger at me! Sure, I could have stopped it in the eight And saved him from his terrible fate. But the crowd would've booed, I'm sure. Not getting their money's worth. Too bad he had to go But there's pressure on me, you know. No, it wasn't me that made him fall You can't blame me at all!" Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it? "Not I," says the angry crowd Whose screams filled 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 d**h We just like to see some sweat There ain't nothin' wrong in that No, it wasn't us that made him fall You can't blame us at all!" Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it? "Not I," says his manager Puffing on his big cigar "It's hard to say, it's hard to tell I always thought that he was well Too bad for his wife and kids he's dead But if he was sick he should've said No, you can't blame me at all It wasn't me that made him fall!" Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it? "Not I," says the boxing writer Pounding his print on his old typewriter Says, "Boxing ain't to blame There's just as much danger in a 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!" Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it? "Not I," says the man whose fists Laid him low in a cloud of mist Who came here from Cuba's shore 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 k** It was destiny, it was God's will! Who k**ed Davey Moore? How come he died And what's the reason for it?
