Samson And Delilah |
| Read about Samson, read about his birth |
| Well, now, Samson was the strongest man who walked on Earth |
| Well, now, one day Samson was-a-walkin' along |
| He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone |
| Well, he raised that bone, God knows, over his head |
| And when he was through ten-thousand was dead |
| If I had my way |
| If I had my way in this wicked world |
| If I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| Well, now, Samson and Delilah got attacked |
| Samson climbed up upon that lion’s back |
| Well, you read about this lion, killed a man with his paws |
| But Samson got his hand around that lion’s jaws |
| Well, he rode that beast until he killed him dead |
| And the bees made honey in the lion’s head |
| If I had my way |
| If I had my way in this wicked world |
| If I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| Well, Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair |
| She had lovely looks, God knows, and coal black hair |
| Well, Delilah come into Samson’s mind |
| The first he saw this woman of the Philistines |
| Well, Delilah climbed up on Samson’s knee |
| Said tell me where your strength lies if you please |
| Well she talked so fine, God knows, she talked so fair |
| Well, now, Samson said «Delilah, you can shave my hair |
| You can shave my hair, just as clean as your hand |
| And my strength will be that of a natural man» |
| If I had my way |
| If I had my way in this wicked world |
| If I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| If I had my way |
| If I had my way in this wicked world |
| If I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
