he took it like a man

samson was in love with delilah

adam a-was a fool about eve

eve started messin' with that old apple tree

that caused old adam to grieve

oh! now when thunder pounded down

he got slammed on the ground

he laid there and he took it like a man

now you remember old john the baptist

he was a prophet in the days of old

but when the axe fell down johnny didn't even frown

he laid there he took it like a. oh! he took it like a man

woo

he took it like a man

now when the axe fell down johnny didn't even frown

he just laid there

he took it like a man

david was the king of jerusalem

had the army in the palm of his hand

but they took a man's life so he could have his wife

and then he had to get a-cuttin' down

well

he took it like a man

woo

he took it like a man

when the thunder pounded down he got slammed on the ground

he laid there he took it like a. oh! he took it like a man

woo

then he took it like a man

when the thunder pounded down he got slammed on the ground

he laid here he took it like a man

woo-oo-oo-oo-oo
