The hand of fate is on me now
It pick me up and knock me down
I m on the runI m prison bound
The hand of fate is heavy now
I killed a manI m highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turning round
Turning roundturning 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 hardit was stormy night
He shot me oncebut 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
YeahI gunned him twice
Yeahand I watched him diewatch out boy
YeahI watched him die
He was a barroom manthe 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 runI hear the hounds
My luck is upmy chips are down
So goodbye babyso long now
Wish me luckI m going to need it child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah it s too late
Too late babytoo 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
