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 Tear this building down You read about Sampson and from his birth The strongest man that ever lived on Earth One day old Sampson was walking alone He looked down on the ground and he saw an old jaw-bone He swung it over his head, swung it over his head When he start moving ten thousand was dead If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down Sampson and the lion got in attack Sampson joined up on the lion's back You read about this lion, he killed a man with his paw Sampson he got his hands around the lion's jaw He ripped that beast till the lion was 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 building down Tear this building down Delilah was a woman so fine and fair She had a lovely good looks and a coal black hair Delilah came down on Samson's mind First he saw a woman of the Philistines She set down on Samson's knees Tell me where your strength lies if you please She spoke so kind, talked so fair Samson told "Delilah cut off my hair, Shave my head, clean as your hand And my strength will be like a natural man." Took old Samson by surprise They picked up a stick and then they punched out his eyes Backing down to the judgment hall Chained him to the stone cold wall They left him there â??til his hair turn brown Strength to tear that building down If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way I would tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down Tear this building down
