Well Delilah, she was a woman fine and fair
                                  C5          G5
She had good looks, God knows and coal black hair
G5
Delilah, she came to Samson's mind
                                 C5         G5
The first he saw this woman that looked so fine
G5  
Delilah, she set down on Samson's knee
                                      C5      G5
Said tell me where your strength lies if you please
G5
She spoke so kind, God knows, she talked so fair
                                   C5         G5
'til Samson said "Delilah, you can cut off my hair
G5
You can shave my head, clean as my hand
                           C5              G5
And my strength 'come as natural as any a man"

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!
