FIf I Fhad my Fway
FIf I Fhad my Fway
FIf I Fhad my Fway
I would tFear tGhis old bFuildGing Fdown
FWell Delilah, she was a woman fine and fair
She had good looks, God knows and Fcoal black Fhair
FDelilah, she came to Samson's mind
The first he saw this woman that Flooked so Ffine
FDelilah, she set down on Samson's knee
Said tell me where your strength lies Fif you Fplease
FShe spoke so kind, God knows, she talked so fair
'til Samson said "Delilah, youF can cut oFff my hair
FYou can shave my head, clean as my hand
And my strength 'come as naFtural as any a Fman"
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
Talk, Yeah
Yeah, Talk to me
Yeah, Yeah, talk to me
Yeah, what happened then?
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
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!
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this old building down
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
Good God!
