Delilah came on the phone and said Boy, d′you wanna take me home
And Samson, he said Babe you know I do
But there's things to be worked out, there′s my ma who is withoutAnd she must be informed that we are two
Well Delilah said 'I have no grouse, and besides I've seen your house
And I like it, it has all my due respect
But to me you now must come, and what′s to do must now be done
Together, so as to get the best effect
Well Samson he said ′Bye', then looked me in the eye
And said Friend, I′m in need of counselling
And I said O Sam you must not go
And he said but friend, how do you know
And I said Ah yes, I was on the extension, listening in
He said Ah yes that is so, but your advice I must forgo
For my love she will not wait for evermore
And with a parting glance, he shook hands and said Thanks
God bless you friend, and walked out of the door
Many months were then to pass before I was led to ask
Off a weary warrior from the South
What news of battles won, of Kings and Queens undone
What secrets do you keep within your mouth
He said It is not well, for many gods have fell
And many more are waiting yet to fall
And the sun will not long set before Elijah himself has met
That most feared mortal of them all
For the one of whom I speak, is now prisoner to the weak
As we are all prisoners to fate
And Queen Delilah has decreed that she cannot intercede
In matters preferential to the state
Well I was sore afraid, for the soldier had portrayed
A vision of my one and only friend.
And so I made all haste, unto the city gates
Thereby to put my torment at an end
And once inside the city walls, and in the royal halls
I gazed upon the scene with disbelief
For there in that princely castle sat a rogue, and a rascal
A vagabond, a liar, and a thief
And I looked at each in turn, and bade them all confirm
That Samson of Judea dwelt within
And they answered with a laugh, and bid me follow aft
To the Arena, where the show would soon begin
Well the Arena it was bubbling, all the senators were juggling
For a seat that would lend pleasure to their view
Then a mighty horn was sounded, and all outbound flights were grounded
As Delilah made her entrance dressed in blue
She cast aside her robes, and the multitude arose
Enraptured by the beauty of her skin
And they spent themselves a-grinning 'til Delilah, she stopped spinning
And said Let Samson - From the dungeon be brought in
And I cried Oh Sam, what has gone wrong
And he said ′Friend, it's a long long story
And time is of the essence it is true
But to cut the story short, young Delilah is a fraud
Yeh and her parents - they are both unmarried too
Then with a fearful cry, he looked blindly to the sky
And bade the Lord one dying wish to grant
Then he whispered to my ear - God speed you quickly far from here
For the coming of Jehovah is at hand
Then the sky was rent in twain, with great boulders did it rain
As I watched from off a hill in Galillee
And with tears in my eye, I bid that life bye-bye
And walked away into eternity
So friends remember this, when you′re lost inside your bliss
A true love can be captured but never bought
So don't count your chickens before they're hatched
Cos if the cock and hen aint matched
All the pleasures of the roost will come to nought
