Samson and Delilah

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I'd burn this whole building down

Delilah was a woman

she was fine and fair

She had good looks and coal black hair

Delilah

she gained ground on Samson's mind

When he saw this woman

she looked so fine

Delilah

she climbed up on Samson's knee

Said

“tell me where your strength lies

if you please”

Then she spoke so kind and she talked so fair

Till Samson said

“Delilah

cut off my hair

You can shave my head clean as my hand

And my strength becomes as natural as any man”

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I'd burn this whole building down

People read about old Samson

as far back as his birth

He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth

One day while Samson's walking

walking alone

Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone

And he stretched out his arms and his chains broke like thread

When he got to move

ten thousand men was dead

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I'd burn this whole building down

If I had my way (if I had my way)

If I had my way (if I had my way)

If I had my way

I'd burn this building down

Little Samson and the lion got entwined in a fight

And Samson

he jumped up and took on the lion's might

You all know just how a lion can kill a man with his paws

Well

Samson got his hands up round that lion's jaws

And he ripped that beast and 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'd burn this whole building down

If I had my way (if I had my way)

If I had my way (if I had my way)

If I had my way

I would burn this building down

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I'd burn this whole building down
