Run Samson Run

In the Bible, 1000 years B.C.

There's a story of ancient history

'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be

'Til 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

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 cheatin' heart

I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin' heart
