[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 away from my tomb

[Verse 2]
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, here comes a shadow on my back

[Verse 3]
The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more, now
Said, "Put some on your pillow and put some on your door"
He said, "Take a long vacation
Ooh, for thirteen months or more"
[Chorus]
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news
Ooh, here comes a shadow on my back

[Outro]
Thank you!
