Текст песни Hand Of Fate (Live At The El Mocambo 1977) - The Rolling Stones

The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it knocked 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 a stormy night
He shot me once, but I shot him twice

The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it knocked me right down
The hand of fate is on me now

I had to save her life
I shot him twice
I just stood there, I watched him die
I just stood there, I watched him die

He was a barroom man, the violent kind
He had no love for that gal of mine
And 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
It picked me up and knocked me down
The hand of fate is on me now
Isn't to late, babe

I'm on the run, I hear the hounds
My luck is up, my chips is out
So, goodbye baby, so long now
Wish me luck, I need it, child

The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah, it's too late now
It's too late babe, too late babe, oh-huh
The hand of fate is heavy now
It's too late baby
It's to late baby
Ah, it's too late baby
It's too late baby
It's too late baby
It's too late now
It's too late now
It's too late baby

Yeah
The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and knocked me down
The hand of fate is on me now
It picked me up and it knock me right down

Yow, alright
Oh, thank you
This is the critics say, I mean
This must be the critics in the front
Oh-oh
I saw you dirty ol' drumsticks at me, Charlie
You alright?
You got enough to drinks?
Yeah
You got enough to drinks, have you?
