Well, if I had my way
I had-a, a mind
If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building

Weh-ell!
Delilah was a fine an' fair
Her pleasant looks-a, her coal hair
Delilah gained old mind
A-first saw the woman looked so fine

A-well went Timnathy, I can't
A daughter of Timnathy, him well
A-Samson told his father, 'I'm a-a-a'
(Help) me

If I had my way
Well, if a had-a, a wicked
If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building

Weh-ell!
mother replied to him
'Can't you find a woman of your and kin?'
'Samson, will you your mother's mind?'
Go'd and married Philistine

Let me you what, old Samson

Well, he at the lion, the lion run
Samson was the first man the attach
He the lion and got upon his 'ack
A-written that he killed a man his
And Sampson had his hand in the lion's

If I had my way
If I had-a, a world
If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building

'Well, your please, a-tell it to me'
'A-how an became forth meat?'
'Well, your riddle please, it to me'
'A-how of it came forth sweet?
Deliah, got his army him
Well, the made-a honey in the lion hair

Well, if I had my way
Well, if I had-a, a wicked
If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this down

me tow knot, an' formed a plot
Not many days 'fore Samson was
A-bind this hands a-walkin' along
A-looked on the ground and a lil' jawbone
He moved his arm ropes, like thread
Dropped those free, three thousand were dead

Lord, If I had my way
Well, if I had a, a wicked
If I had a, ah Lord, tear building down

Weh-ell!
Samson's trick though never found out
they began to wonder about
A-'till his wife sat up his knee
'A-tell me where strength lie, if you please?'

Samson's wife she so fair
Told his cut off-a his hair
'Shave my head, clean as hand
'Till I become a man!'

Lord, If I had my way
Well, if I had a, a world
If I had a, ah Lord, tear this down.
