In the bible, 1000 years BC
|
There's a story of ancient history
|
'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
|
'Til he met a cheatin' gal who brought him tragedy
|
|
Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way
|
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
|
Run Samson run, on your mark you better start
|
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion
|
Than a gal with a cheatin' heart
|
|
She was a demon (was a demon)
|
A devil in disguise
|
He was taken (he was taken)
|
By the angel in her eyes
|
That lady barber (lady barber)
|
Was very well equipped
|
You can bet your bottom dollar
|
He was gonna get clipped
|
|
Oh, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way
|
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
|
Run Samson run, on your mark you better start
|
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion
|
Than a gal with a cheatin' heart
|
|
Oh, Delilah (oh, Delilah)
|
Made Sammy's life a sin
|
And he perished (and he perished)
|
When the roof fell in
|
There's a moral (there's a moral)
|
So listen to me pal
|
There's a little of Delilah
|
In each and every gal
|
|
Soooo, run Samson run, Delilah's on her way
|
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
|
Run Samson run, on your mark you better start
|
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion
|
Than a gal with a cheatin' heart
|
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion
|
Than a gal with a cheatin' heart
|
