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!
