Samson was a comfortable racehorse

Samson was an easy ride

Samson was born to be a racehorse

Samson gave us a pony and died

And one day Samson he kicked to the left

Samson he kicked to the right

Samson he kicked out the door

Samson he kicked out his light

He was a thoroughbred

Who knew his time had come

So when the boy pulled the trigger he was ready to go

Here come Delila

She was screaming at the sun

But it's alright

He said it's alright with him

It's alright, it was alright with him



Delila, fell in love in the summertime

But Samson had too much pride

So she loved him

From a distance

She called him black electra-glide

And one day Samson, he turned to the left

Samson he turned to the right

Something was moving through the grass

Something spooky and tight

It was a rattlesnake striking out from the bushes

And Samson was a hero only just in time

Said Delila

I want to be with you forever

If it's alright

And it was alright with him

And it was alright

It was alright with him



They called him Samson

Because his mane was long

And he was carved out of muscle

He was big and strong

We'll build a statue

So he can be with us always

And it's alright

I know it's alright with him

It's alright

I know it's alright with him



Samson grew old in the winter

But Samson still lived for the racing days

But there were rumors

Flying round the racetrack

They were putting him out to graze

So one day Samson he kicked to the left

Samson he kicked to the right

Samson wouldn't wait for the doctor

Samson couldn't live through the night

He was a thoroughbred

Who knew his time had come

And a bullet would be quicker than a broken heart

And Delila, she was carrying his son

So it's alright

It was alright with him

I know it's alright

It's alright with him

He said it's alright

It's alright with him
