Roy Orbison — Dream Baby lyrics

Lyrics

In the bible, 1000 year bc There’s a story of ancient history
Bout a fella who was strong as he could be Till he met a cheatin gal who brought him tragedy
CHORUS: 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 rather 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 that he was gonna get clipped
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
I’d rather trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheatin heart
