Samson Songtext
von Greg Brown

Well Delilah was a woman she was fine and fair
Very pretty looking had that coal black hair
Delilah she gained old Samson′s mind
First he saw this woman well she looked so fine

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way I'd tear that old building down

Now you read about Samson the man from his birth
He was the strongest that ever lived on earth
Read about him in the ancient times
He killed three thousand Philistines
Stop and let me tell you what old Samson done
He looked at the lion and the lion run
But Samson killed that lion 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'd tear that old building down


Well they bound him with a rope and they led him along
He looked down at some old jawbone
Stretched his arm rope broke like thread
When he got done killing three thousand was dead

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way I'd tear that old building down

Well Delilah talked fine she talked so fair

Samson said you can cut off my hair

You can shave my head naked as my hand
And my strength will be like a natural man
They shaved his head like the palm of his hand
And his strength it was of a natural man
They took poor Samson to the judgment hall
They bound and chained him up against the wall
He called a little boy about three foot tall
And said place my hands up against that wall
They placed his hands higher than a crown
And Samson tore that old building down

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way I′d tear that old building down


Oh if I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way I′d tear that old building down
