The Backroom Boys)



After Samson spoke his mind

Delilah called the Philistines

They paid her silver for her sins

While Samson slept a man came in

And cut off all his hair



"The Philistines are here

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine

The enemy draws near

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine"



And thus Delilah mocked him

He didn't realise

His strength had gone

His captors came

And gouged out both his eyes



But Samson's soul remained

To rue the love which bore him ill

In Gaza he was chained

And put in jail to work the mill



For love a man was lost from God

Whom God had ceased to know

His hair, the token, had been cut

But soon that hair would grow
