Samson Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man 

I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands 

And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire 

Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire? 

You faced an army of Philistines all alone 

And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone? 

So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true 

How could you let a woman get the best of you? 

I've heard it said you were the best of many men 

That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge 

And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound 

And you completely tore one temple down 

How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace? 

You got the best of every man you ever faced 

And after all the mighty enemies you slew 

How could you let a women get the best of you? 

You've battled many a man till he has turned and fled 

Then turned around and let a woman turn your head 

You loved the best, my man, but you were bound to fall 

By the very thing that you loved best of all 

Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man 

And women were your weakness, this I understand 

But after all the mighty armies you went through 

How could you let a woman get the best of you? 

Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man 

And women were your weakness, this I understand 

But after all the mighty armies you went through 

How could you let a woman get the best of you? 

How could you let Delilah get the best of you?
