There's A Lady For Me Down In Timnah (part One) Lyrics - Stewart Tony

(Hatchet & Spade) 

As Samson grew up 

He was blessed by the Lord 

But was stirred into heavenly works 

To begin Israel's struggle 

That they might break free 

From the hands of those Philistine jerks 

Now Samson went down 

Into Timnah and saw 

A young Philistine mademoiselle there 

(oh!) 

And on his return 

To the parental home 

He said, to their utter despair 

(huh!) 

There's a lady for me down in Timnah 

A young girl I've decide to wed 

An attainable Philistine woman 

I'll not have another instead 

His father said, 

"What will the neighbours all say ?" 

His mother proceeded to faint 

(ahh!) 

"There must be another 

From Israel," said they 

But Samson replied, "Well there ain't" 

(oh!) 

But there's a lady for me down in Timnah 

A young girl I've decided to wed 

An attainable Philistine woman 

I'll not have another instead 

So reluctantly both of them 

Yielded their ground 

Though quite unaware of God's plan 

And they set off all three 

Down to Timnah to see 

This young Philistine girl and her clan 

Singing 

There's a lady for me down in Timnah 

A young girl I've decide to wed 

An attainable Philistine woman 

I'll not have another instead 

Everybody ! 

There's a lady for me down in Timnah 

A young girl I've decided to wed 

An attainable Philistine woman 

I'll not have another instead 

No, I won't have another instead 

I will not have another instead
