Samson 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, she was fine and fair

She had good looks, God knows, and coal-black hair

Delilah, she came to old Samson's mind

The first, he saw this woman, he could feel this time

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

Till 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, yeah

If I had my way

If I had my way

I'd tear this old building down

(Pray to God almighty, talk to me)

Yes, sir

Yeah

Talk to me now

Talk

Uh huh

Talk

Uh huh

Talk to

Let me hear you

Talk to me

Yeah

Make me feel good

What

Talk to me

Uh huh

Well, you read about old Samson, oh, 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, good God

If I had my way

If I had my way

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 into the lion's jaws

He rid that beast until he killed him dead

And the bees made honey in that lion's head

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this old

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would

Good God
