• Samson and Delilah (If I Had My Way)

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
