B5                                                  F#5 
In the Bible, one thousand years BC 
            B5 
There's a story of ancient history 
                  E5 
Bout a fell who was strong as he could be 
B5               F#5                 B5 
Till he met a cheating gal who brought him tragedy 
 
Chorus: 
     B5                  F#5 
So run Samson run, Delilah's on her way 
                  B5 
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay 
                      E5 
Run Samson run, on your marks you'd better start 
      B5                    F#5                 B5 
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart 
 

B5            F#5 
She was a demon, a devil in disguise 
            B5 
He was taken, by the angel in her eyes 
                         E5 
That lady barber, was very well equipped 
              B5               F#5                 B5 
You can bet your bottom dollar he was gonna get clipped 
 
Chorus 
 

B5            F#5 
Oh Delilah made Sammie's life a sin 
            B5 
And he perished, when the roof fell in 
            E5 
There's a moral, so listen to me pal 
B5               F#5                 B5 
There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal 
 
Chorus
