Tombstone Shadow

Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.

Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.

Ev'ry 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 trav'lin',

Fly in no machines.

Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.

Ev'ry 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, stretchin' across my path.

Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.

Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,

There's a shadow on my back.

Oh, oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord!
