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
