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 Samson's mind.
When first he saw this woman you know he couldn't believe his mind.
Delilah she climbed up on Samson's 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 lion's back.
You read about this lion he killed a man with his paws
But Samson got his hands around that lion's jaws.
He ripped the beast till he killed him dead.
The bees made honey in the lion's head.
If I had my way if I had my way if I had my way
I would tear this old building down.
