Hand of Fate (Live) - The Rolling Stones
Lyrics by:Mick Jagger/Keith Richards
Composed by:Mick Jagger/Keith 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
Way on the 14 is heavy now
I killed a man I'm highway bound
The wheel of fortune keeps turning round
We keeps me 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 knock me 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
I watch and out
He was a barroom man the violent kind
And 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
And put me on and a nothing down
And right now
Put me right now
Yeah
I'm on the run
I I'm get bound
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah it's too late
Is too late now
Too late baby
Too late baby too late now
Too late baby yeah too late now
Too late baby too late now
Yeah
The hand of fate is heavy now
Pick me up and help me right now
The hand of fate is heavy now
Pick me up and help me right now
