Saw the gypsy man

Said, I saw the gypsy man

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

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!

Oh, oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord!
