He Took It Like A Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Samson was in love with Delilah, Adam a-was a fool about Eve
Eve started messin' with that old apple tree, that caused old Adam to grieve
But, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Yes, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Oh! now when thunder pounded down, he got slammed on the ground
He laid there and he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Now you remember old John the Baptist (yeah!, yeah!)
He was a prophet in the days of old (yeah!, yeah!)
But when the axe fell down Johnny didn't even frown
He laid there he took it like a...
Oh! he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Woo, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Now when the axe fell down Johnny didn't even frown
He just laid there, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
David was the King of Jerusalem
Had the army in the palm of his hand
But they took a man's life so he could have his wife
And then he had to get a-cuttin' down
Well, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
Woo, he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
When the thunder pounded down he got slammed on the ground
He laid there he took it like a...
Oh! He took it like a man, woo, (he took it like a man)
Then he took it like a man (he took it like a man)
When the thunder pounded down he got slammed on the ground
He laid here he took it like a man, (he took it like a ma-a-a-an)
Woo-oo-oo-oo-oo
