Hand Of Fate
The Rolling Stones
from the album BLACK AND BLUE
The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it knocked me down
I'm on the run, I'm prison bound
The hand of fate is a heavy now
I killed a man, I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turnin' round
Turnin' round, turnin' round
I should have known it was a one horse town
'Cause my sweet girl was once his wife
And he had papers that the judge had signed
The wind blew hard, it was a stormy night
He shot me once but I shot him twice
The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it kicked me right down
Kicked me right down, kicked me right down
I had to save her life, yeah
I gunned him twice
Yeah, and I watch him die, watch out, boy
Yeah, I watch him die
Hooh
He was a barroom man, the violent kind
He had no love for that gal of mine
And the one day in the drinkin' bout
He swore he'd throw me right out of town
The hand of fate is on me now
I shot that man, I put him under ground
I put him under ground, under ground, yes I did
I'm on the run, I hear the hounds
My luck is up, my chips are down
So goodbye, baby, so long now
Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it, child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah, it's too late, baby, I say, it's too late, baby
Too late now
The hand of fate is on me now, oh yeah, I tell ya
The hand of fate is a heavy now
A heavy now
The hand of fate is a heavy now
Now, don't you worry, don't you frown
I'm gonna be back
Oh yeah, watch out, boy
Come on, don't you frown
It's too late, it's too late now
The hand of fate is a heavy now
It pick you up and it knock you down
