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!
