Ashley Cleveland - Samson And Delilah
Album: God Don't Never Change

***********************************************

[Chorus]:

If I had my way, If I had my way
If I had my way, good Lord
I would tear this whole building down

[Verse 1]:

Delilah was a woman fine and fair
She had good looks, God knows, and coal black hair
Delilah she came on Samson's mind
When first he saw this woman with the Philistines

[Verse 2]:

She sat right down on Samson's knee
She said tell me where your strength lies if you please
She spoke so fine, God knows, she talked so fair
Samson said Delilah you can cut my hair
You can shave my head clean as my hand
My strength come as natural as any man

[Chorus]:

If I had my way, if I had my way,
If I had my way, good Lord
I would tear this building down

[Verse 3]:

You read about old Samson told from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samson was walkin' along
He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone
He stretched out his hand, God knows it broke like flint
When he got to movin' ten thousand was dead

If I had my way, if I had my way,
If I had my way, good Lord
I would tear this building down

[Verse 4]:

Samson and the lion got in attack
Samson he jumped up on the lion's back
Well you read about this lion killed a man with his paws
Samson got his hands in the lion's jaws
And he ripped that beast until he killed him dead
Bees made honey in the lion's head
Good God

[Chorus]:

If I had my way, if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down

I said - If I had my way, if I had my way
If I had my way, good Lord, I would tear this building down
