Run Samson Run Lyrics

In the bible, one thousand years B.C.
there's a story of ancient history
'bout a fellow who was strong as he could be
till he met a cheatin gal who brought him tragedy.

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 sooner 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 he was gonna get clipped.

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 sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin heart.

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.


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 sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin heart.

Neil Sedaka (born 13 March 1939 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American pop singer, pianist, and songwriter often associated with the Brill Building era of songwriting. He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many major hit songs for himself and others.

Sedaka wrote his 1959 hit "Oh! Carol" about his then-girlfriend, Carol Klein, later to become Carole King. In 1963, King released a humorous answer entitled "Oh Neil".

The Laughter In the Rain Songfacts says Sedaka's hits dried up when The Beatles arrived, but then he teamed up with the lyricist Philip Cody and had a a number 1 hit with "Laughter In The Rain." It re-ignited Sedaka's career and he had 6 more Top-40 hits in America by 1977.

Sedaka's voice is in the tenor range. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
