Bad News

One, two, one two three four...

Bad news travels like a wildfire

And good news travels slow

They call my your Wildfire

Every place I go

'Cause I'm bad news

Mmmm... every place I go, oh oh now

Oh Lord always gettin' in trouble

Leavin' little girls who hate to see me go

(Bad news, bad news) [repeat ad lib.]

I've picked peaches down in Georgia

Lumberjacked up in Maine

I've been hired and jailed

In every state you can name

'Cause I'm bad news

Every place I go, oh oh now

Because I'm always gettin' into trouble

And I'm leavin' little girls who hate to see me go

(Bad news, bad news)

(Bad news, bad news)

Lord they tried to hang me down in Oakland

And they did in San Frisco

But I wouldn't choke

And I broke their rope

And they had to let me go

'Cause I'm bad news

Every place I go, every place I go

You know I'm always gettin' into trouble

And I'm leavin' little girls who hate to see me go

(Bad news, bad news) [repeat ad lib.]

Because I'm bad news...

Oh you better believe it...

Oh I'm bad news... I tell it like it is...

I got to tell you Lord, I'm bad news...

Yeah I'm bad news...
