Delilah was a woman, she was fine and fair.
Ooh, She had good looks 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 and she talked so fair,
Well Samson said, Delilah cut off my hair.
You can shave my head clean as my hand,
My strength will become as natural as any old man.

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, chains broke like thread,
When he got to moving, ten thousand was dead.

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,
Samson got his hands up around that lion's
jaws.
And he ripped that beast
till he killed him dead.
And the bees made honey
in the lion's head.
