Jerry Jeff Walker - Bad News lyrics

John D. Loudermilk

Yeah, well, I picked peaches in Georgia,

And I've lumberjacked in Maine

Been hired and fired and been in jail,

In 'bout every state you can name

Chorus:

Hell, I'm bad news honey, bad news every place I go

'Cause I'm always getting into trouble

Leavin' them girls early - hate to see me go

They say bad news is like wildfire, 'n good news comes too slow

They always call me wildfire wherever I go

Chorus

You know they tried to hang me in Oakland, tried it in Frisco too

I wouldn't choke, I broke the rope, they had to let me go

Chorus
