A letra:
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 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 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 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
A versão dos Rolling Stones:
