You read about sampson, you read about his birth |
|
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth. |
|
One day old sampson was walking alone |
|
He looked down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone. |
|
He lifted up that jaw-bone and he swung it over his head, |
|
And when he got to moving ten thousand was dead. |
|
If i had my way, |
|
If i had my way in this wicked world, |
|
If i had my way i would tear this building down. |
|
Sampson and the lion got in attack |
|
Sampson he crawled up on the lion's back |
|
You read about this lion - he killed a man with his paw |
|
Sampson he got his hands around the lion's jaw |
|
And he ripped that beast till the lion was dead |
|
And the bees made honey in the lion's head. |
|
If i had my way, |
|
If i had my way in this wicked world, |
|
If i had my way i would tear this building down. |
|
Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair |
|
She had lovely looks, god knows, and cold black hair |
|
Delilah she climbed up on sampson's knee |
|
And said "tell me where your strength lies, if you please" |
|
She talked so fine, she talked so fair, |
|
Sampson said "delilah, cut off my hair, |
|
Shave my head just as clean as your hand |
|
And my strength will be like a natural man." |
|
If i had my way, |
|
If i had my way in this wicked world, |
|
If i had my way i would tear this building down. |
|
If i had my way, |
|
If i had my way in this wicked world, |
|
If i had my way i would tear this building down. |
