Samson and Delilah

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

Well Delilah, she was a woman, she was fine and fair
She had good looks, God knows and coal black hair
Delilah, she came into Samson's mind
And first he saw this woman that she 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
Samson said "Delilah, you can cut 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, great Lord
If I had my way, yeah
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down

Well, you read about old Samson, told from his birth
He was the strongеst man that ever had lived on еarth
So one day when 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
And when he got to movin' ten thousand were dead, great God

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

Well, now Samson and the lion got into attack
And 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 and the lion was dead, great God

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

Samson and Delilah
Samson and Delilah
She was fine and fair
