Well, Delilah she was woman, she was fine and fair,
She and good looks and, God knows, coal black hair,
Delilah, she came to old Samson man,
At first he saw the woman he couldn't understand.
Delilah, she sat upon on Samson's knee,
Samson said, "Delilah do what you please. You can shave my head clean as my hand, do what you want, but baby I command."
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way I would tear this old building down.
Well, if you read about old Samson you could surely say he was the strongest man who ever lived on the Earth,
So one day while he was out walkin' alone he looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone,
He stretched out his arm,
God knows it broke like thread,
When he got through moving ten thousand more were dead.
If I had my way,
If I had my way,
If I had my way I would tear this old building down,
I would tear this old building down.
Well, Samson and Delilah they got attacked,
Samson, he jumped up, pulled the lion back,
So, you read about this lion he killed a man with his paws,
Samson got his hands into the lion's jaws,
He ripped that beast,
I tell you, he killed him dead,
As the bees make honey, the lion's dead.
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, (if I had my way)
If I had my way,
If I had my way I would tear this old building down,
I would tear this old building down,
I would tear this old building down.
