Samson and Delilah - Rev. Gary Davis

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Well Delilah, she was a woman fine and fair

She had good looks, God knows and coal black hair

Delilah, she came to Samson’s mind

The first he saw this woman that looked so fine

Delilah, she set down on Samson’s knee

Said tell me where your strength lies if you please

She spoke so kind, God knows, she talked so fair

'til Samson said 'Delilah, you can cut off my hair

You can shave my head, clean as my hand

And my strength 'come as natural as any a man'

If I had my way

If I had my way

In this wicked world

If I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Talk, Yeah

Yeah, Talk to me

Yeah, Yeah, talk to me

Yeah, what happened then?

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Yeah you read about old Samson, told from his birth

He was the strongest man that ever had lived on Earth

So one day while Samson was-a-walkin' along

He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone

He stretched out his arm, God knows, it broke like flint

When he got to movin' ten-thousand was dead, Mmm

If I had my way

If I had my way in this wicked world

If I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Well old Samson and the lion got attacked

Samson he jumped up on the lion’s back

So you read about this lion had killed a man with his paws

But Samson got his hand in the lion’s jaws

He rid that beast until he killed him dead

And the bees made honey in the lion’s head

Good God!

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 in this wicked world

If I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Good God1
