Samson was a very mighty man,
He could do anything that dynamite can
He leaned upon the temple and the temple fell
And all the people ran like . . .

(go immediately to chorus!)

My grandad used to play his guitar while we sang the song. I don’t remember much of it except for bits and pieces. Here’s what I do recall: (I’m sorry for the wording as I am aware of how racist it sounds)

First god made the ocean then he made the sky’s,
Then he made the stars to put in little darkies eyes,
(I don’t remember the next two lines)

A walkin’ a walkin’ a walkin’ I say,
Walkin’ to the parlor and I listen to ‘em play,
Walkin’ to the parlor and I listen to ‘em sing,
And I see the darkie’s fingers as he picks upon the strings,

(There was some more stuff and the chorus would repeat a few times)

Salome was a dancer she danced the hoochy cooch,
The king said he liked it very very mooch,
But the Queen said “we’ll have to scandal here!”
“Oops!” Said Salome as she kicked the chandelier.

That’s all I remember.

Old folks young folks everybody come
Join our happy Sunday school and have a lot of fun
Please check your chewing gum and raisins at the door
And we'll tell you Bible stories that you never heard before.

Adam was the first man, Eve she was his spouse
They both got together and started keeping house
All went well until the babies came
Then Eve she started into raising Cain

Danny was a bad boy he wouldn't obey the king
The king said he wouldn't stand for any such a thing
He put him in the lion's den with lions at his feet
But Danny was a dentist and he pulled the lion's teeth

God made Satin, Satin made sin
God made a hot place to keep Satin in
Satin didn't like it and said he wouldn't stay
He's been acting like the devil ever since that day.

These are the only verses I remember from when I was in the second or third grade.

You can't be serious with this. Raisins? It's razors. And it's Darky Sunday School - Not happy Sunday School. What are you, Mormon?

Adam was the first man and Eve was his spouse.
They got kicked out for stealin' fruit, and went to keepin' house.
Everything was peaceful and quiet on the main
until a baby came along and they started raisin' Cain.

Chorus:
Old folks, young folks, everybody come.
Join the Old Time Sunday School and make yourselves at home.
Kindly park your chewing gum and razors at the door
And I'll tell you bible stories like you've never heard before.

Eshack, meshack and abendigo, walked the firery furnace all in a row. The king sat back in splendor expecting them to fry but they wore asbestos underpants and waved the king good bye.

To the Bible Baptist Sunday School we ll have a lot of fun leave cigarettes behind you and drinking at the door and you'll hear a lot of stories that you never heard before.
Salome was a dancer and she danced the hoochie cooch. She danced it for king Herod and she didn't wear too much. King Herod said Salome you can't do that in here
Salome said the heck I can and kicked the chandelier.
