Bob DylanWho Killed Davey Moore? Lyrics:
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' 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
An' 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 he had to go
But there was a pressure on me too, you know
It wasn't me that made him fall
You can't blame me at all"
Who killed Davey Moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not us" said the angry crowd
Whose screams filled the arena loud
"It's too bad he had to die that night
But we just like to see a good old fashioned fight
We didn't mean for him t' meet his death
We just wanted to see some sweat
There ain't nothin' wrong in that
It wasn't us that made him fall
You can't blame us at all"
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me" said his manager
Puffin' 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 an' kids, he's dead
But if he was sick, he should've said
It wasn't me that made him fall
You can't blame me at all"
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me" said the gamblin' man
With his ticket stub still in his hand
"It wasn't me that knocked him down
My hands didn't touch 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
You can't blame me at all"
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me" said the boxing writer
Who pounds a print on his old typewriter
Sayin', "Boxing is here to stay
There's just as much foot danger in a football game"
Sayin', "Fist fightin' is here to stay
It's just the old American way
It wasn't me that made him fall
You can't blame me at all"
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' what's the reason for?
"Not me" said 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"
Who killed Davey Moore?
Why an' what's the reason for?
