Peter, Paul & Mary - If I Had My Way Lyrics
You read about sampson, you read about his birthHe was the strongest man that ever lived on earth.One day old sampson was walking aloneHe looked down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone.He lifted up that jaw-bone and he swung it over his head,And when he got to moving ten thousand was dead.If I had my way,If I had my way in this wicked world,If I had my way I would tear this building down.Sampson and the lion got in attackSampson he crawled up on the lions backYou read about this lion - he killed a man with his pawSampson he got his hands around the lions jawAnd he ripped that beast till the lion was deadAnd the bees made honey in the lions head.If I had my way,If I had my way in this wicked world,If I had my way I would tear this building down.Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fairShe had lovely looks, God knows, and cold black hairDelilah she climbed up on sampsons kneeAnd said tell me where your strength lies, if you pleaseShe talked so fine, she talked so fair,Sampson said delilah, cut off my hair,Shave my head just as clean as your handAnd my strength will be like a natural man.If I had my way,If I had my way in this wicked world,If I had my way I would tear this 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 building down.
