Lyrics
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
'Cause my sweet girl, was once his wife
And he had papers, that 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, whoo
He was a barroom man, the violent kind
He had no love, for that girl 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
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
And wish me luck, I'm gonna need it, child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah, it's too late
I will say
Too late baby, too late now
The hand of fate is on me now
(No way now, I say)
The hand of fate is heavy now (is so heavy now)
The hand of fate (is so heavy now)
Heavy now
How don't know how
It's too late, too late now
The hand of fate is heavy now
Pick you up, and it knock you down
