In the bible, one thousand years B.C.
there's a story of ancient history
'bout a fellow who was strong as he could be
till he met a cheatin 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 cheatin heart.
She was a demon, a devil in disguise.
He was taken by the angel in her eyes.
That 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 cheatin heart.
Oh Delilah made Sammy's life a sin
and he perished when the roof fell in.
There's a moral, so listen to me pal,
there's a little of Delilah in each and every gal.
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 cheatin heart.
