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 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!

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 out 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,
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.
