Samson and Delilah(Live Boston Music Hall, Boston 6/9/1976) - Grateful Dead

作词：Bob Weir/Traditioal

Well Delilah was a woman

she was fine and fair

She had good looks God knows

and coal black hair

Delilah she gained old Samson's mind

When first he saw this woman

You know he couldn't believe his mind

Delilah she climbed up

on Samson's knee

Said tell me where your strength

lies if you please

She spoke so kind and she talked so fair

Well Samson said Delilah cut off my hair

You can shave my head clean

as my hand

And my strength will become

as natural as any old man

If I had my way if I had

my way if I had my way

I would tear this old building down

You read about Samson all

from his works

He was the strongest man

that ever had lived on earth

One day when Samson

was walking along

Looked down on the ground

he saw an old jawbone

He stretched out his arm

God knows chains broke like thread

When he got to moving ten

thousand was dead

If I had my way if I had my way

if I had my way

I would tear this old building down

Now Samson and the lion

they got in a tack

Samson he crawled up

on the lion's back

You read about this lion he killed

a man with his paws

But Samson got his hands around

that lion's jaws

He ripped the beast till

he killed him dead

The bees made honey in the lion's head

If I had my way if I had my way

f I had my way

I would tear this old building down

If I had my way if I had my way

f I had my way

I would tear this old building down

If I had my way if I had my way

f I had my way

I would tear this old building down

I would tear this old building down

If I had my way if I had my way

f I had my way

I would tear this old building down
