Samson and Delilah (Live at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA, November 1, 1985)

[Intro]
(It's got to be funky)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
Knew she had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair
Delilah she gained old Samson's mind
When first he saw this woman, Lord, he couldn't believe his mind
Delilah, she climbed up on old Samson's knee
Said "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
And she spoke so kind, God knows 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"

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
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
