Well, if I had my way

If I had-a, a wicked mind

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down

Weh-ell!

Delilah was a woman fine an' fair

Her pleasant looks-a, her coal black hair

Delilah gained old Samson's mind

A-first saw the woman that looked so fine

A-well went Timnathy, I can't tell

A daughter of Timnathy, a-pleased him well

A-Samson told his father, 'I'm goin a-a-a'

(Help) me Lord

If I had my way

Well, if a had-a, a wicked world

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down

Weh-ell!

'Samson, will you please your mother's mind?'

Go'd and married that-a Philistine

Let me tell you what, old Samson

Well, he roared at the lion, the lion run

Samson was the first man the lion attach

'A-how strong of it came forth sweet?

Deliah, got his army after him

Well, the bees made-a honey in the lion hair

Well, if I had my way

Well, if I had-a, a wicked world

Not many days 'fore Samson was caught

A-bind this hands whilst a-walkin' along

A-looked on the ground and found a lil' jawbone

He moved his arm ropes, a-pop like thread

Dropped those threads, three thousand were dead

Lord, If I had my way

Well, if I had-a, a wicked world

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down

Weh-ell!
