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