- Peter, Paul & Mary - If I Had My Way Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- (Rev. Gary Davis)
- You read about Sampson, you read about his birth
- He was 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 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 attack
- Sampson he crawled 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
- and he ripped that beast till the lion was dead
- and the bees made honey in the lion's 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 fair
- She had lovely looks, God knows, and cold black hair
- Delilah she climbed up on Sampson's knee
- and said "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
- She talked so fine, she talked so fair,
- Sampson said "Delilah, cut off my hair,
- shave my head just as clean as your hand
- and 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.
