Song Lyrics

"Delilah The Samson Version"

by Tim Hawkins
Album: Cletus Take the Reel

Hey there Delilah
This is your ex boyfriend Samson
And I know you thought that lifting weights
Made me so buff and handsome
You were wrong
It's cause I let my hair grow long
That makes me strong

Hey there Delilah
You came in while I was sleeping
And I couldn't feel you cutting
And I didn't hear you creeping
Out the door
You left my hair piled on the floor
While I just snored

Oh, what you did to me
Oh, while I was asleep
Oh, I'm a Nazarene
Oh, but you shave me clean
Delilah you're so mean

I killed a lion big and mean
And slaughtered many Philistines
All with a donkey's jawbone that's no lie

But now I'm chained up to the wall
And I can't cry no tears at all
Because they came and gouged out both my eyes

Why'd you grab your clipping shears
And shave my head like Britney Spears
And now I'm standing here in total shame
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
Why did you have to deceive me
And it's hard for me to think
Not long ago I wanted you to be my bride
But you took too much off the sides

Hey there Delilah
When you die,
Just tell the Devil I said hi
And he'll know why

Oh, it's what you did to me
Oh, now I feel so weak
Oh, I look like a freak
Oh, Delilah you're a geek
Oh, you're such a geek
