Tomstone Shadow - Creedence Clearwater Revival

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!
