Who Killed Davey Moore? - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - October 1963

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