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