Samson

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Samson was a comfortable racehorse Samson was an easy ride Samson was born to be a racehorse Samson gave us a pony and died And one day Samson, he kicked to the left Samson, he kicked to the right Samson, he kicked out the door Samson, he kicked out his light He was a thoroughbred Who knew his time had come So when the boy pulled the trigger he was ready to go Here come Delilah She was screaming at the sun [Chorus] But it's alright He said it's alright with him It's alright It's alright with him [Verse 2] Delilah fell in love in the summertime But Samson had too much pride So she loved him from a distance She called him black electra-glide And one day Samson, he turned to the left Samson, he turned to the right Something was moving through the grass Something spooky and tight It was a rattlesnake striking out from the bushes And Samson was a hero only just in time Said Delilah I want to be with you forever [Chorus] If it's alright And it was alright with him And it was alright It was alright with him [Verse 3] They called him Samson Because his mane was long And he was carved out of muscle He was big and strong We'll build a statue So he can be with us always [Chorus] And it's alright I know it's alright with him It's alright I know it's alright with him [Verse 4] Samson grew old in the winter But Samson still lived for the racing days But there were rumours Flying round the racetrack They were putting him out to graze So one day Samson, he kicked to the left Samson, he kicked to the right Samson wouldn't wait for the doctor Samson couldn't live through the night He was a thoroughbred Who knew his time had come And a bullet would be quicker than a broken heart And Delilah, she was carrying his son [Chorus] So it's alright It was alright with him I know it's alright It's alright with him He said it's alright It's alright with him
