Tombstone Shadow, stretching across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretching 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'ling,
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone Shadow, stretching 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, stretching across my path.
Tombstone Shadow, stretching across my path.
Ev'ry time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.


Oh, oh, Lord!
Oh, Lord!
