Tombstone Shadow Lyrics - Green River - Creedence Clearwater Revival

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. 

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. 

Every time I get some good news, ooh, 

There's a shadow on my back. 

Oh, oh, lord! 

Oh, lord!
