Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Tombstone shadow stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh, there's a shadow on my back
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh, oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
