Samson And Delilah Lyrics by Willie Watson

Folksinger Vol. 2

2017

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
Well, Delilah she 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
Couldn't belive his mind
Well, Delilah she sat down on Samson's knees
Said tell me where your strength lies if you please
If you please
Well, She talked so fine and she spoke so fair
Samson told Delilah cut off my hair
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
And my strength come 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
Well Samson and the lion, they got in a tack
Samson jumped up on that lion's back
Well, you read about this beast that killed a man with his paw
Samson got his hands in the lion's jaw
Well, he ripped that beast till he killed him dead
And 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
Well, you read about ol' Samson and all of his works
He was the strongest man ever had lived on earth
Well, one day when Samson was walking along
He looked on the ground and he saw an old jawbone
Well, he stretched out his arm, you know it broke like thread
And when he got to moving, ten thousand was dead
Good God
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
