B F#
In the Bible, one thousand years BC
B
There's a story of ancient history
E
Bout a fell who was strong as he could be
B F# B
Till he met a cheating gal who brought him tragedy
Chorus:
B F#
So run Samson run, Delilah's on her way
B
Run Samson run, you ain't got time to stay
E
Run Samson run, on your marks you'd better start
B F# B
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
B F#
She was a demon, a devil in disguise
B
He was taken, by the angel in her eyes
E
That lady barber, was very well equipped
B F# B
You can bet your bottom dollar he was gonna get clipped
Chorus
B F#
Oh Delilah made Sammie's life a sin
B
And he perished, when the roof fell in
E
There's a moral, so listen to me pal
B F# B
There's a little of Delilah in each and every gal
Chorus
