samson and delilah - the staple singers lyrics

[chorus]
if i had my way, if i had my way
if i had my way, if i had my way
i would tear this building down
i would tear this building down

[verse 1]
you heard about samson from your birth
strongest man that ever lived on earth
one day samson was walking along
he looked on the ground, he spied an old jawbone
he stretched out his hand and it molded like clay
when he start movin’ 10,000 were dead
[chorus]
lord, if i had my way, if i had my way
if i had my way, if i had my way
i would tear this building down
i would tear this building down

[verse 2]
samson and the lion had an attack
samson jumped on that lion’s back
you’ve read about lions k!lling men with their paws
samson got his hand in the lion’s jaws
rode that lion ’til the beast fell dead
the bees made honey in the lion’s head

[chorus]
if i had my way, if i had my way
if i had my way, if i had my way
i would tear this building down
i would tear this building down

[verse 3]
delilah was a woman so fine and fair
she had good looks and coal black hair
delilah first gained on samson’s mind
he first saw the woman in philistine
delilah sat on samson’s knee
said “tell me where your strength lies, if you please”
she spoke so kind, the woman talked so fair
samson told delilah, “cut off my hair
shave my head just as clean as your hand
then i’ll become a natural man”
they caught old samson by surprise
picked up a stick and poked out his eyes
carried him down by the judgment hall
chained him to that stone cold wall
left him there ’til his hair grew down
samson tore that building down
you might also like
[chorus]
lord, if i had my way, if i had my way
if i had my way, if i had my way
i would tear this building down
i would tear this building down
