Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo
Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo
Five dollars on the table, ooh
Keep me 'way from my tomb
Oh! Oh!
Said I got thirteen months of bad luck
Bound to be some pain
Don't you do no traveling
Fly in no machines
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more
Said, "Put some on your pillow
And put some on your door."
He said, "Take a long vacation, ooh
For thirteen months or more."
Oh, Lord!
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo
Said, I saw the gypsy man, 'way down in San Berdoo
Five dollars on the table, ooh
Keep me 'way from my tomb
Oh! Oh!
Said I got thirteen months of bad luck
Bound to be some pain
Don't you do no traveling
Fly in no machines
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more
Said, "Put some on your pillow
And put some on your door."
He said, "Take a long vacation, ooh
For thirteen months or more."
Oh, Lord!
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
