Tombstone Shadow [Live] Lyrics
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
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, oh
The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more
Said, "put some on your pillow and put some on your door"
You 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
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path
Ev'ry time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
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
Bound to be some pain
Don't you do no trav'lin'
Fly in no machines
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, oh, oh
Said, "put some on your pillow and put some on your door"
You said, "take a long vacation, ooh
For thirteen months or more"
Oh, Lord
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path
Every time I get some good news, ooh
There's a shadow on my back
Oh, Lord
