Samson and Delilah

DP, BOB WEIR

If I had my way
I would tear this whole 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
Then she spoke so kind, she talked so fair
That Samson said, Delilah you cut off my hair
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
My strength 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 whole building down

You read about Samson, all from his birth
He was the strongest man 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

If I had my way if I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

Now Samson and the lion, they got in attack
And Samson he crawled up on the lion's back
You read about this lion
He killed a man with his paws
Samson got hands up round the lion's jaws
He ripped that beast, killed him 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
