Samson and Delilah

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, 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"

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 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 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 cralwed up on the lion's back

You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paw

Samson got his hands up round that lion's jaw

And he ripped that beast wide open, 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

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
