Sampson and Delilah |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
I would tear this old building down |
Well Delilah, she was a woman fine and fair |
She had good looks, God knows and coal black hair |
Delilah, she came to Samson’s mind |
The first he saw this woman that looked so fine |
Delilah, she set down on Samson’s knee |
Said tell me where your strength lies if you please |
She spoke so kind, God knows, she talked so fair |
'til Samson said 'Delilah, you can cut off my hair |
You can shave my head, clean as my hand |
And my strength 'come as natural as any a man' |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
In this wicked world |
If I had my way |
I would tear this old building down |
Talk, Yeah |
Yeah, Talk to me |
Yeah, Yeah, talk to me |
Yeah, what happened then? |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
I would tear this old building down |
Yeah you read about old Samson, told from his birth |
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on Earth |
So one day while Samson was-a-walkin' along |
He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone |
He stretched out his arm, God knows, it broke like flint |
When he got to movin' ten-thousand was dead, Mmm |
If I had my way |
If I had my way in this wicked world |
If I had my way |
I would tear this old building down |
Well old Samson and the lion got attacked |
Samson he jumped up on the lion’s back |
So you read about this lion had killed a man with his paws |
But Samson got his hand in the lion’s jaws |
He rid that beast until he killed him dead |
And the bees made honey in the lion’s head |
Good God! |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
If I had my way |
I would tear this old 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 old building down |
Good God1 |
