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
