A7 Em
You read about Sampson from his birth
A7 Em
Strongest man that ever lived on earth
A7 Em
One day Sampson was walking alone
A7 Em
Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone
A7 Em
Stretched out his hand, swung it over his head
A7 Em
When he starts moving ten thousand was dead
[chorus]
A7 Em
If I had my way

A7 Em
Sampson and the lion, they got in attack
A7 Em
Sampson jumped on that lion's back
A7 Em
You read about him, he killed a man with his paw
A7 Em
Sampson got his hands around the lion's jaw
A7 Em
Broke that beast till the lion was dead
A7 Em
Bees made honey in the lion's head
[chorus]

A7 Em
Delilah was a woman so fine and fair
A7 Em
She had lovely good looks and a cold black hair
A7 Em
Delilah gained on Sampson's mind
A7 Em
First saw the woman just to fill his time
[verse 4]
A7 Em
Sit down on Sampson’s knees
A7 Em
Tell me where your strength lies if you please
A7 Em
She spoke so kind, talked so fair
A7 Em
Sampson told Delilah, cut off my hair
[verse 5]
A7 Em
Shave my head, clean as your hand
A7 Em
And my strength will be like a natural man
A7 Em
Caught old Sampson by surprise
A7 Em
Picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye
[verse 6]
A7 Em
Dragged him down to the judgment hall
A7 Em
Chained him to the stone cold wall
A7 Em
Left him there till his head turned brown
A7 Em
Sampson tore that building down
