Tombstone Shadow

Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Everytime I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back

Saw the gypsy man, way down in San Berdoo
Well, 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
Everytime 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
Everytime I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, Lord!
[Oh Lord]
