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!
