Samson and Delilah - Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh

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, she looked so fine

Delilah she climbed up on Samson’s knee

Said «Tell me where your strength lies, if you please»

She spoke so kind, talked so fair

Samson said, «Delilah, you cut off my hair

You can shave my head, clean as my hand

My strength 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 whole building down

You read about Samson, all from his birth

He was the strongest man ever has lived on Earth

One day while Samson was walking along

Looked down on the ground he saw an old jaw bone

Then he stretched out his arm and his chains broke like threads

And when he got to move, ten thousand was dead
