The Blasters - Samson and Delilah lyrics

If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down You heard about Samson from your birth Strongest man that ever lived on earth One day Samson was walking along He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone He stretched out his hand and it molded like clay When he stopped moving ten thousand were dead Lord If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down Samson and the lion had an attack Samson jumped on that lion's back You heard about lions k**ing men with their paws Samson put his hands in the lion's jaws Rode that lion 'til the beast fell dead Bees made honey in the lion's head Lord If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down Delilah was a woman fine and fair Splendid looks and coal black hair Delilah first gained on Samson's mind He first saw the woman with a Philistine Delilah sat on Samson's knee So tell me where your strength lies if you please A woman talks so fine a woman talks so fair Samson told Delilah cut off my hair Shave my head just as clean as your hand And then I'll become a more natural man They caught ol' Samson by surprise Picked up a stick and poked out his eyes Carried him down by the judgment hall Chained him to that stone cold wall Left him there 'til his hair grew down Samson tore that building down Lord If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down
