Tombstone shadow
Stretchin' across my path
Tombstone shadow
Stretchin' across my path
Every time I get some good news
There's a shadow on my back

Well, I saw the gypsy man
Way down in San Berdoo
Well, I saw the gypsy man
Way down in San Berdoo
Five dollars on the table
Keep me away from my tomb

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
Every time I get some good news
There's a shadow on my back
