Well, you're reading the Bible,
that Samson was the strongest man.
he saw old Samson and he called to him,
he whispered low into Samson's mind, said,
deliver my children from the Philistines,
if I had my way, if I had my way,
I would tear the building down.
Tell me that the strength
They tell us down in chapter nine
that he killed three thousand
she sat on his knees and said, Samson,
tell me where your strength lies,
that Samson told her to cut his hair
And my strength's gonna come
He said, if I had my way, if I had my way,
I'd tear the building down.
Great God, they shaved his head
just as clean as their hand.
and chained him to the wall.
But he called on God, he called him Lord.
They told me that his hair
Then he called a kid about
He said, you're placing my hands
And he tore that building down with God
