Lyrics
If I had my way, I would tear this old building down
Well delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair She had good looks, god knows, and coal black hair Delilah she gained old samson's mind When first he saw this woman, you know he couldn't believe his mind
Delilah she climbed up on samson's knee Said tell me where your strength lies if you please She spoke so kind and she talked so fair Well samson said, delilah cut off my hair
You can shave my head, clean as my hand And my strength will become as natural as any old man
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this old building down
You read about samson, all from his works He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth One day when samson was walking along Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone
He stretched out his arm, god knows, chains broke like thread When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way I would tear this old building down
Now samson and the lion, they got in a tack Samson he crawled up on the lion's back You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws But samson got his hands around that lion's jaws
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead 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 would tear this old building down
