A7 Em You read about Sampson from his birth A7 Em Strongest man that ever lived on earth A7 Em One day Sampson was walking alone A7 Em Looked down on the ground and saw an old jawbone A7 Em Stretched out his hand, swung it over his head A7 Em When he starts moving ten thousand was dead

A7 Em Sampson and the lion, they got in attack A7 Em Sampson jumped on that lion's back A7 Em You read about him, he killed a man with his paw A7 Em Sampson got his hands around the lion's jaw A7 Em Broke that beast till the lion was dead A7 Em Bees made honey in the lion's head

A7 Em Delilah was a woman so fine and fair A7 Em She had lovely good looks and a cold black hair A7 Em Delilah gained on Sampson's mind A7 Em First saw the woman just to fill his time
[verse 4]
A7 Em Sit down on Sampson’s knees A7 Em Tell me where your strength lies if you please A7 Em She spoke so kind, talked so fair A7 Em Sampson told Delilah, cut off my hair
[verse 5]
A7 Em Shave my head, clean as your hand A7 Em And my strength will be like a natural man A7 Em Caught old Sampson by surprise A7 Em Picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye
[verse 6]
A7 Em Dragged him down to the judgment hall A7 Em Chained him to the stone cold wall A7 Em Left him there till his head turned brown A7 Em Sampson tore that building down
