Ev'ry time I get some good news, there's a shadow on my back

Päivystävä hautausmaan vartija tähystämässä, etteivät henget[tömät] karkaa.

John Fogerty - Tombstone Shadow - - [live HD audio from the Beacon Theater in New York, November 18, 2011].

TOMBSTONE SHADOW - Sometime early in 1969, I played a show in San Bernadino, California. Right across the street from the hotel there was a little shop advertising “Fortune Teller”. I went in and got my fortune read. This song is a note for note replay of that experience - [John Fogerty].

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.

Said I got thirteen months of bad luck,
Bound to be some pain.
Don't you do no travelin',
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."

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
