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
