Samson and Delilah (Live at Providence Civic Center, Providence, RI, May 14, 1978) The Grateful Dead

[Instrumental]

[Intro]
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down

[Verse 1]
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, Lord, she looked so fine
Delilah she sat down on Samson's knee
Said "Tell me where your strength lies, if you please"
And 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 come as natural as any old man"

[Chorus]
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this whole building down (Right now)

[Verse 2]
You read about Samson, all from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever has lived on Earth
Onе day while Samson was walking along
Looked down on the ground, hе saw an old jaw bone
Then he stretched out his arm, God knows, his chains broke like threads
And when he got to move, ten thousand was dead
