Run Samson, run lyrics

In the bible

One thousand years B.C.

There's a story

Of ancient history

Bout a fella

Who was strong as he could be

Tell he met a cheating gal

Who brought him tragedy

Oh, run Samson, run

Delilah's on her way

Run Samson, run

You ain't got time to stay

Run Samson, run

On your mark you better start

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion

Than a gal with a cheating heart

She was a demon (was a demon)

A devil in disguise

He was taken (he was taken)

By the angel in her eyes

That lady barber (lady barber)

Was very well equipped

You can bet your bottom dollar

He was gonna get clipped

Oh, run Samson, run

Delilah's on her way

Run Samson, run

You ain't got time to stay

Run Samson, run

On your mark you better start

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion

Than a gal with a cheating heart

Oh, Delilah (oh, Delilah)

Made Sammy's life a sin

And he perished (and he perished)

When the roof fell in

There's a moral (there's a moral)

So listen to me, pal

There's a little of Delilah

In each and every gal

So, run Samson, run

Delilah's on her way

Run Samson, run

You ain't got time to stay

Run Samson, run

On your mark you better start

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion

Than a gal with a cheating heart‏

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion

Than a gal with a cheating heart‏ ‏
