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 |
