Tombstone shadow

Stretchin' across my path.

Tombstone shadow

Stretchin' 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 trav'lin',

Fly in no machines.

Tombstone shadow

Stretchin' 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

Stretchin' across my path.

Tombstone shadow

Stretchin' across my path.

Every time I get some good news,

Ooh, there's a shadow on my back.

Oh, oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord!
