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 getting in a trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
They tried to hang me in Oakland
And the 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 getting in a trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
Now from north to south
The east 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 getting in a trouble
And leaving little girls
That sure hate to see me go
Well
Well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia
I lumberjacked in Maine
I've been hired
Fired and jailed
In any town you can name
Cause I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always getting in a trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
