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

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

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

If I had my way
Well, if a had-a, a world
If I had-a, ah Lord, this building down

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

Let me tell you what, old

Well, he roared at the lion, the run
Samson was the man the lion attach
He caught the lion and got his 'ack
that he killed a man with his
And had his hand in the lion's jaws

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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