Buzzard keep on flyin’ over, take along yo’ shadow.
It is a line from "Porgy and Bess".
I suppose that take along your shadow must be an idiom, but I wasn't able to find it in any dictionary.
I think it means "if the buzzard is flying, it is a bad omen, so take care of yourself". Am I right?
Second thought: all the sentence might be in the imperative mood, meaning: "Buzzard, keep on flying, go away, and your shadow go with you!"
