In the Bible, one thousand years b.C. There's a story of ancient history 'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be Till he met a cheatin' gal who brought him tragedy
Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay Run Samson run, on your mark you better start I'd sonner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
She was a demon, a devil in disguise He was taken by the angel in her eyes That lady barber was very well equipped You can bet your bottom dollar he was gonna get clipped
Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay Run Samson run, on your mark you better start I'd sonner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
Oh Delilah made Sammy's life a sin And he perished when the roof fell in There's a moral, so listen to me pal There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal
So, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay Run Samson run, on your mark you better start I'd sonner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart I'd sonner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
