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 |
