Who Killed Davey Moore? Lyrics & Chords By Pete Seeger

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 eighthand 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? 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. Who killed Davey Moore? How come he died, and what`s the reason for? 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. Who killed Davey Moore? How come he died, and what`s the reason for? Not I says the man whose fistslaid 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?
