If I Had My Way If I had my way If I had my way I’d burn this whole building down
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair She had good looks and coal black hair Delilah, she gained ground on Samson’s mind When 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 and she talked so fair Until Samson said, Delilah, Cut off my hair
(Chorus)
We’ve all read about old Samson, as far back as birth He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth One day while Samson’s walking, walking along Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone And he stretched out his arms and his chains broke like thread When he got to move ten thousand men was dead
(Chorus variation)
Now Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight And Samson he jumped up and took on the lion’s might You will know just how a lion would kill a man with his paws Well Samson got his hands up ‘round that lion’s jaws And he ripped the beast and killed him dead And the bees made honey in the lion’s head
