Bad News

Come on, bad news

Well, bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me 'Wildfire' 'cause everybody knows

I'm bad news, everywhere I go

Always gettin' in a trouble

And leaving little girls

That hate to see me go

They tried to hang me in Oakland

And they did in Francisco

But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope

And they had to let me go

Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always gettin' in a trouble

And leaving little girls

That hate to see me go

Now from north to southeast

To west the story is the same

From one state to another

I have to change my name

Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always gettin' in a trouble

And leaving little girls

That sure hate to see me go

Well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia

I lumber jacked in Maine

I've been hired, fired and jailed

In any town you can name

Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always gettin' in a trouble

And leaving little girls

That hate to see me go
