Tombstone Shadow - Creedence Clearwater Revived

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!
