[Fm]
He bought his first well, now Samson was a strong man, he walked on earth well now.
One day Samson was a walking long well, he looked on the ground and saw an old drop on the well.
He raised that bone, got a nose over his head, and when he was through ten,
thousand [Ab] was dead [Db] if I had my way, I [Ab] had my way in this wicked world.
If I had my [Fm] way [Db] I would tear [Eb] this [Ab] building down.
Well now Samson and the lion got in a tank, you know now Samson climbed up upon that lion's [Fm] back.
Well he beat about this lion, killed a man with a toss.
Now Samson got his hand around that lion's jaw, [Ab] well he rode that beast until he killed him dead.
And the [Fm] beast went [Ab] hunting the lion's head.
If [Db] I had my way, [Ab] if I had my way in this wicked world, [Fm] if I had my way [Db] I would tear [Eb] this [Ab] building down.
Now Lila was a woman, she was fine and fair, she had lovely looks, got nosey, cold black hair.
Well the lion looked on him too, Samson smiled well, first he saw this woman of her,
[Fm] fearless and well, [Ab] Lila climbed up on Samson.
He cannot tell me where you live, if you please the well, she talked so fine,
Well now Samson said to Lila you can shave my hair, you can shave my hair too,
but your hair and my teeth will be made out of natural metal.
If [Db] I had my way, [Ab] if I had my way in this wicked world, if I had [Fm] my way [Db] I would tear [Eb] this [Ab] building down.
[Db] If I had my way, if [Ab] I had my way in this wicked world, if I had my [Db] way I would tear [Eb] this [Ab] building down.
