The Sermon Of Samson - Bobby Darin
You read about ol' Samson you read about his birth
Well Samson was the strongest man
That ever walked on earth
Now the Bible tells us down in ancient times
That he killed ten thousand of those Philistines
You see one day ol' Samson was walkin' alone
And a-looked on the ground
And spied an old jawbone
And then he picked up that jawbone
And swung it'round his head
When that jawbone came down
Now ten thousand were dead
If I had my way
Well if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
And if I had my way
Well if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Delilah was a woman both fine and fair
She was so good lookin' with her coal black hair
That she drove poor Samson right out of his mind
When he saw that woman of the Philistines
And now that wicked Delilah she talked so fair
That poor Samson revealed “If I shaved my head
If I shave my head just as clean as your hand
My strength will be just like a natural man ”
If I had my way
Well if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
And if I had my way
Well if I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
Hallelujah Hallelujah
So Samson shaved his head just
As clean as your hand
And his strength became just like a natural man
And then they took ol' Samson
They took him by surprise
And they picked up a stick and
Then they punched out his eyes
And then they took ol' Samson
To the judgment hall
And then they chained ol' Samson
To that stone cold wall
And then they left him there
'Til his hair grew brown
And then the good Lord gave him strength
To tear that building down
And 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
And if I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way Great God Almighty
I would tear this building down
