C F
Oh, Samson, it's been said you were a mighty man
C
I've heard it said you killed a lion with your hands
F A7
And when the people of Philistia raised your Ire
G C
Ain't you the man who set their fields on fire?
[Verse 2]
F
You faced an army of Philistines all alone
C
And didn't you tear at their flesh with just a bone?
F A7
So tell me, Samson, if these things I hear are true
F C F
How could you let a woman get the best of you?
[Verse 3]
F
I've heard it said you were the best of many men
C
That you could tear a city gate right off it's hinge
F A7
And that the strongest rope just could not hold you bound
G C
And you completely tore one temple down
[Verse 4]
F
How could you let yourself get caught in such disgrace?
F C
You got the best of every man you ever faced

And after all the mighty enemies you slew
F C
How could you let a women get the best of you?

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

You loved the best, of man, but you were bound to fall
G C
By the very thing that you loved best of all
[Chorus]

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?
