TOMBSTONE SHADOW
Creedence Clearwater Revival


Tombstone Shadow, stretching across my path.(2x)
every 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 travelling,
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone Shadow, stretching across my path.
Every 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.(2x)
every time I get some good news, Ooh,
There's a shadow on my back. 

Oh, oh, lord!
Oh, Lord!
