Supersam (Jawbone Reprise) Lyrics

(Del Monte and the Maraschinos)


Now Samson came to Lehi
The Philistines appeared
And when they saw him waiting
They shouted and they jeered
But the Spirit of the Lord
Came on Samson yet again
All at once his bonds burst into flame
And melted from his hands

Supersam
Supersam

Now he saw an ass's jawbone
That was lying at his feet
And since it wasn't old and brittle
It would serve him quite a treat
He put out his hand and seized it
Now that he was free again
And with the jawbone of an ass
He slew a thousand men

Supersam
Supersam

"With the jawbone of an ass
I've made asses out of them
With the jawbone of an ass
You know I've slain a thousand men"

And with those words he'd spoken
He let the jawbone lie
And the place where Samson left it
Was called "Ramoth Lehi"
And if you don't speak the lingo
Then let me translate for you
It means, "The hill of the jawbone"
Where God gave victory to

Supersam
