lyrics

say if I had my way (x3)
I would tear this whole building down
well Delilah she was woman
fine and fair
she had good look I know
and cold black hair
Delilah she came up on Samson boy
first he saw this woman strut down in his town
well Delilah she sat down on Samson knee
said tell me where you drink now baby if you please
and she spoke so kind god no thought so fair
Samson said Delilah you cut off my hair
you shaved my head clean as my hand
I drank all natural as any old man
if I had my way
if I had my way (x3)
I would tear this whole building down

well you read about how Samson
he spoke from his will
he was the strongest man that ever have lived on
well one day Samson came walkin along
reached down on the ground
he called no job down
when he stretched out his arm god no it broke like thread
when it got to movin ten thousand went dead
if I had my way (x3)
I would tear this whole building down

well old Samson and Delilah they got in attack
Samson he crawled up on lion back
he rebuilt his line killed a man with his paw
Samson got his hand wrapped up around that lion jaw
then he ripped that piece god knows he killed him dead
bees made honey in the lion's head
if I had my way (x3)
I would tear this whole building down
