Hand Of Fate (Live At The El Mocambo 1977)

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?
