Samson And Delilah

Lyrics

[Chorus] If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this building down I would tear this building down [Verse 1] You heard about Samson from your birth Strongest man that ever lived on Earth One day Samson was walking along He looked on the ground, he spied an old jawbone He stretched out his hand and it molded like clay When he start movin' 10,000 were dead [Chorus] Lord, If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this building down I would tear this building down [Verse 2] Samson and the lion had an attack Samson jumped on that lion's back You've read about lions killing men with their paws Samson got his hand in the lion's jaws Rode that lion 'til the beast fell dead The bees made honey in the lion's head [Chorus] If I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this building down I would tear this building down [Verse 3] Delilah was a woman so fine and fair She had good looks and coal black hair Delilah first gained on Samson's mind He first saw the woman in Philistine Delilah sat on Samson's knee Said "tell me where your strength lies, if you please" She spoke so kind, the woman talked so fair Samson told Delilah, "Cut off my hair Shave my head just as clean as your hand Then I'll become a natural man" They caught old Samson by surprise Picked up a stick and poked out his eyes Carried him down by the judgment hall Chained him to that stone cold wall Left him there 'til his hair grew down Samson tore that building down [Chorus] Lord, if I had my way, if I had my way If I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this building down I would tear this building down
