Creedence Clearwater Revival Tombstone Shadow
(J.C. Fogerty) 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!
