If I Had My Way I`d Tear The Building Down Lyrics - Complete Recordings Of Blind Willie Johnson - Blind Willie Johnson

Well, if I had my way 

I had-a, a wicked mind 

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down 

Weh-ell! 

Delilah was a woman fine an' fair 

Her pleasant looks-a, her coal black hair 

Delilah gained old Samson's mind 

A-first saw the woman that looked so fine 

A-well went Timnathy, I can't tell 

A daughter of Timnathy, a-pleased him well 

A-Samson told his father, 'I'm goin a-a-a' 

(Help) me Lord

If I had my way 

Well, if a had-a, a wicked world 

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down 

Weh-ell! 

Samson's mother replied to him 

'Can't you find a woman of your kind and kin?' 

'Samson, will you please your mother's mind?' 

Go'd and married that-a Philistine 

Let me tell you what, old Samson 

Well, he roared at the lion, the lion run 

Samson was the first man the lion attach 

He caught the lion and got upon his 'ack 

A-written that he killed a man with his 

And Sampson had his hand in the lion's jaws 

If I had my way 

If I had-a, a wicked world 

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down

"Well, your riddle please, a-tell it to me" 

"A-how an eater became forth meat?" 

"Well, your riddle please, a-tell it to me" 

"A-how strong of it came forth sweet? 

Deliah, got his army after him 

Well, the bees made-a honey in the lion hair 

Well, if I had my way 

Well, if I had-a, a wicked world 

If I had-a, ah Lord, tear this building down 

Sewed me tow knot, an' formed a plot 

Not many days 'fore Samson was caught 

A-bind this hands whilst a-walkin' along 

A-looked on the ground and found a lil' jawbone 

He moved his arm ropes, a-pop like thread 

Dropped those threads free, three thousand were dead 

Lord, If I had my way 

Well, if I had a, a wicked world 

If I had a, ah Lord, tear this building down 

Weh-ell! 

Samson's trick though they never found out 

"Till they began to wonder about" 

A-'till his wife sat up upon his knee 

"A-tell me where your strength lie, if you please?" 

Samson's wife she a-talked so fair 

Told his wife cut off-a his hair 

"Shave my head, clean as your hand" 

"Till I become a natural man!" 

Lord, If I had my way 

Well, if I had a, a wicked world 

If I had a, ah Lord, tear this building down.
