[G] If I had my way, if I had my way, I wouldn't tear this old building down.
Well, diddle-a-dai, she was a woman, [F#] she was fine [G] and fair.
She had good looks, a garden over in Kovac House.
Diddle-a-dai, she gained old Samson's mind.
At first, he saw this woman, yet the dearest I did lie.
She sat down with Samson, me, and tell her,
I'll have you straightened out if you please.
She spoke so kind, God knows she talked so fast.
Yet Samson said, diddle-a-dai, cut off my hair.
You can shave my hair, clean my hand,
[F#] if I [A#] can't come natural, if any [G] of man.
If I had my way, if I had my way, [Gm] I wouldn't tear this old building [G] down.

Well, you read about old Samson, all from his grave.
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on earth.
So one day while Samson was a-walking along, he looked on the [F#] ground and saw an [G] old jawbone.
He stretched out his arm, God knows it broke like thread.
When he got to move it, then fell on [F] one big good bone.
[G] If I had my way, [F] [A] if I had my way, [G] if I had my way, I wouldn't tear this old building down.
[F#] Well, old Samson and the lion [G] got in a tag.
Samson, he jumped up on the lion's back.
[F#] So you read about this [G] lion had killed a man with his paws.
But Samson, he got his hand into the lion's jaws.
He ripped that beast up until he killed him dead.
And that beast made honey, that lion fish.
If I had my way, if I had my way, if I had my [D] way,
[G]
if I had my way, if I had my way.
[A] Good God.
