If I had my way, I would tear this old building down

Well delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair,
She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair,
Delilah she gained old samsons mind
When first he saw this woman, you know he couldnt believe his mind

Delilah she climbed up on samsons knee,
Said tell me where your strength lies if you please
She spoke so kind and she talked so fair,
Well samson said, delilah cut off my hair

You can shave my head, clean as my hand
And my strength will become as natural as any old man

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down

You read about samson, all from his works,
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth
One day when samson was walking along,
Looked down on the ground, he saw an old jawbone

He stretched out his arm, God knows, chains broke like thread,
When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down

Now samson and the lion, they got in a tack,
Samson he crawled up on the lions back
You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paws,
But samson got his hands around that lions jaws

He ripped the beast till he killed him dead
The bees made honey in the lions head

If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear this old building down
