Samson And Delilah |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| I would tear this building down |
| You heard about Samson from your birth |
| Strongest man that ever lived on Earth |
| One day Samson was walking along |
| He looked on the ground, he spied an old jawbone |
| He stretched out his hand and it molded like clay |
| When he start movin' 10,000 were dead |
| Lord, if I had my way, if I had my way |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| I would tear this building down |
| Samson and the lion had an attack |
| Samson jumped on that lion’s back |
| You’ve read about lions killing men with their paws |
| Samson got his hand in the lion’s jaws |
| Rode that lion 'til the beast fell dead |
| The bees made honey in the lion’s head |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| I would tear this building down |
| Delilah was a woman so fine and fair |
| She had good looks and coal black hair |
| Delilah first gained on Samson’s mind |
| He first saw the woman in Philistine |
| Delilah sat on Samson’s knee |
| Said «tell me where your strength lies, if you please» |
| She spoke so kind, the woman talked so fair |
| Samson told Delilah, «Cut off my hair |
| Shave my head just as clean as your hand |
| Then I’ll become a natural man» |
| They caught old Samson by surprise |
| Picked up a stick and poked out his eyes |
| Carried him down by the judgment hall |
| Chained him to that stone cold wall |
| Left him there 'til his hair grew down |
| Samson tore that building down |
| Lord, if I had my way, if I had my way |
| If I had my way, if I had my way |
| I would tear this building down |
| I would tear this building down |
