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