| Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
|
| She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair
|
| Delilah she gained old Samson’s mind
|
| When first he saw this woman, could be the last time
|
| Delilah she sat down on Samson’s knee
|
| Said «Tell me where your strength lies, if you please»
|
| She spoke so kind, she talked so fair
|
| Samson said, «Delilah, you cut off my hair
|
| You can shave my head, clean as my hand
|
| My strength come as natural as any old man»
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| You read about Samson, all from his birth
|
| He was the strongest man that ever has lived on Earth
|
| One day while Samson was walking along
|
| Looked down on the ground he saw an old jaw bone
|
| Then he stretched out his arm and his chains broke like threads
|
| And when he got to move, ten thousand was dead
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| (Look out now)
|
| Now, Samson and the lion, they got in attack
|
| Samson, he crawled up on the lion’s back
|
| You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws
|
| Samson got his hands up around that lion’s jaws
|
| He ripped that beast, God knows he killed him dead
|
| And the bees made honey in the lion’s head
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| (Great God, talk to me now)
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| If I had my way
|
| I would tear this whole building down
|
| (That's right) |
