Hand Of Fate Lyrics

Hand Of Fate

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

The hand of fate is on me now
It pick me up
and knock me down
I'm on the run, I'm prison bound
The hand of fate is
heavy now
I killed a man, I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps
turning round
Turning round, turning round
I should have known it was a
one horse town

My sweet girl was once his wife
He had papers the
judge had signed
The wind blew hard, it was stormy night
He shot me once,
but I shot him twice
The hand of fate is on me now
It pick 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 watched him
die, watch out boy
Yeah, I watched him die

He was a barroom man, the
violent kind
He had no love for that gal of mine
Then one day in a
drinking bout
He swore he'd throw me right of town
The hand of fate is on
me now
I shot that man I put him underground
I put him underground
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 going to need it
child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah it's too late
Too late baby,
too late now
The hand of fate is on me now
The hand of fate is heavy
now

It pick you up and knock you down
