the sermon of samson

Singer:darin, bobby

you read about ol' samson you read about his birth

well

samson was the strongest man that ever walked on earth

now

the bible tells us down in ancient times

that he killed ten thousand of those philistines

you see one day ol' samson was walkin' alone

and a-looked on the ground and spied an old jawbone

and then he picked up that jawbone and swung it 'round his head

when that jawbone came down now ten thousand were dead

if i had my way

well

if i had my way

if i had my way in this wicked world

i would tear this building down

and if i had my way

well

if i had my way

if i had my way in this wicked world

i would tear this building down

hallelujah! hallelujah!

delilah was a woman both fine and fair

she was so good lookin' with her coal black hair

that she drove poor samson right out of his mind

when he saw that woman of the philistines

and now that wicked delilah she talked so fair

that poor samson revealed

if i shaved my head
