Tombstone Shadow — текст песни (creedence clearwater revival)

(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!
