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

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

A-well Timnathy, I can't tell
A of Timnathy, a-pleased 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 world
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 that-a

Let me tell you what, old

Well, he roared at the lion, the run
Samson was the first man the attach
He caught the lion and got his 'ack
A-written that he 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, tear this building

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

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

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

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

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

wife she a-talked so fair
Told his wife cut his hair
'Shave my head, clean as your
'Till I a natural man!'

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