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.
