Текст песни Samson And Delilah - Tom Jones

If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
Well, you read about Samson, all from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day while Samson was walking along
He looked down on the ground and saw an old jaw bone
He stretched out his arms, his chains broke like thread
When he got to moving, ten thousand were dead
He said, "If I had my way in this wicked world"
"If I had my way, I would tear this building down"
Now, Samson and the lion, they got an attack in
Samson crawled upon the lion's back
Well, you read about the lion, he killed a man with his paws
But Samson got his hands around the lion's jaws
He ripped that beast till he killed him dead
And then the bees made honey in the lion's head
If I had my way in this wicked world
If I had my way then I would tear this building down
Tear this building down
Tear this building down
Delilah was a woman
She was fine and fair
She had good looks and coal black hair
Delilah, she gained old Samson's mind
When he first saw that woman, oh, she looked so fine
Delilah, she climbed upon Samson's knee
She said, "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
She spoke so kind, she talked so fair
And then Samson said, "Delilah, don't touch my hair!"
"You can shave my head, clean as my hand"
"And my strength becomes just like a natural man"
Just like a natural man
Just like a natural man
If I had my way in this wicked world
If I had my way then I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
Temptation roped Samson, he was blinded by lust
But his faith gave him strength, yeah, and that was enough
He rose like a tempest, mighty and just
He buried that darkness in rubble and dust
In rubble and dust
In rubble and dust
In rubble and dust
He said, "If I had my way"
He said, "If I had my way"
He said, "If I had my way"
"I would tear this building down"
If I had my way
