Samson And Delilah Lyrics

Samson And Delilah lyrics

If I had my way, I would tear this old building down



Well, 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, you know he couldn't believe his mind



Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee

Said,"Tell me, where your strength lies, if you please"

She spoke so kind and she talked so fair

Well, Samson said,"Delilah cut off my hair



You can shave my head, clean as my hand

And my strength will become 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 old building down



You read about Samson, all from his works

He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth

One day, when Samson was walking along

Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone



He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread

When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead



If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way

I would tear this old building down



Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack

Samson he crawled up on the lion's back

You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws

But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws



He ripped the beast till he killed him 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

I would tear this old building down
