Run Samson, Run
(GLDR 102)
Ed Mitchell, Scott Brown
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides face, grand square
In the bible, one thousand years B.C.
There's a story in ancient history
'Bout a fella who was strong as he could be
Left allemande with that corner girl and weave the ring for me
Oh, run, Samson run, Delilah's on her way
Swing that lady round tonight and you promenade I say
Oh, run, Samson run, on your mark you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheat'n heart
FIGURE
Heads you square thru four hands around you go
Find that corner and do a dosado
Now you swing thru and all the boys run right
Bend the line, do the right & left thru and you turn that girl tonight
Oh, flutterwheel across (yodel)
Slide thru and swing (yodel) OR (promenade I sing)
Oh, run, Samson run, on your mark you better start
I'd sooner trust a hungry lion than a gal with a cheat'n heart
ALTERNATE LYRICS
She was a demon, a devil in disguise
He was taken by the angel in her eyes
That lady barber was more than well-equipped
Oh, that Delilah made Sammy's life a sin
There's a moral, so listen to me, pal
There's a little bit of Delilah in each and every gal
