But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead
I would tear this old building down
Delilah, she climbed up on Samson's knee
Delilah, she gained old Samson's mind
Said,"Tell me, where your strength lies, if you please"
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
You read about Samson, all from his works
When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind
Well, Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair
One day, when Samson was walking along
When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead
Samson he crawled up on the lion's back
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
She spoke so kind and she talked so fair
Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone
The bees made honey in the lion's head
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws
She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair
He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way
And my strength will become as natural as any old man"
Well, Samson said,"Delilah cut off my hair
I would tear this old building down
Now Samson and the lion, they got in a tack
