The first he saw this woman that looked so fine
Delilah, she set down on Samson's knee Said tell me where your strength lies if you

fair 'til Samson said "Delilah, you can cut off
my hair You can shave my head, clean as my hand
And my strength 'come as natural as any a man"

Yeah you read about old Samson, told from his birth
He was the strongest man that ever had lived on Earth

When he got to movin' ten-thousand was dead, Mmm
