Who Killed Davey Moore Lyrics

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. Who killed Davey Moore? How come he died, and what`s the reason for? 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. Who killed Davey Moore? How come he died, and what`s the reason for?

Who killed Davey Moore? 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. Who killed Davey Moore? How come he died, and what`s the reason for?
