Bad News Songtext
von Stoneground

Well, bad news travels like wildfire,
Good news travels slow.
They all call me wildfire
′Cause ev'rybody knows
I′m bad news, everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
And a-leavin' 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 the rope
And they had to let me go
′Cause I'm bad news, ev′rywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Nd leavin′ little girls
That hate to see me go
Now, from North to South, to East to West The story is the same
From one state to another
I have to change my name
'Cause I′m bad news, ev'rywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
And a-leavin′ little girls
That sure hate to see me go
Well, now I picked peaches in Georgia
I lumberjacked in Maine
I′ve been hired, and fired, and jailed
Any town you can name
'Cause I′m bad news, ev'rywhere I go
Always gettin′ into trouble
And a-leavin' little girls
That hate to see me go
