Samson and Delilah

Lyrics

If I had my way
 If I had my way
 If I had my way
 I would tear this whole building down
 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, she looked so fine
 Delilah she climbed up on Samson's knee
 Said tell me where your strength lies, if you please
 Then she spoke so kind, she talked so fair
 That Samson said, Delilah you cut off my hair
 You can shave my head, as clean as my hand
 My strength will come as natural as any other man
 You read about Samson, all from his birth
 He was the strongest man ever had 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 were dead
 Now Samson and the lion, they got in attack
 And Samson he walked up on the lion's back
 You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paw
 Samson got hands up round the lion's jaw
 He ripped that beast, killed it dead
 And 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 whole building down
 Tear this whole building down!
