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
