Verse 2: "Not us", says the angry crowd, Whose screams filled the arena loud.
	"It's too bad he died taht nite, But we just like to see a fight.
	 We didn't mean for him t' 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".

REFRAIN

Verse3: "Not me", says 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 an' 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".

REFRAIN

Verse4: "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.

	 It wasn't me that made him fall. No you can't blame me at all".

REFRAIN

Verse5: "Not me", says the boxing writer, Pounding 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".


REFRAIN

Verse6: "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, 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".
