In the bible, 1000 year bc

There's a story of ancient history

Bout a fella who was strong as he could be

Till he met a cheatin gal who brought him tragedy



CHORUS: 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 rather 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 that he was gonna get clipped



CHORUS



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



CHORUS

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