Tombstone Shadow (at the Royal Albert Hall / London, UK / April 14, 1970) Songtext
von Creedence Clearwater Revival

Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow, stretching across my path
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 away from my tomb


Said I got 13 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, here comes a shadow on my back

The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more, now
Said, "Put some on your pillow and put some on your door"
He said, "Take a long vacation
Ooh, for 13 months or more"

Tombstone shadow stretching across my path
Tombstone shadow stretching across my path
Every time I get some good news
Ooh, here comes a shadow on my back


Thank you
