John D. Loudermilk - Bad News lyrics

Bad news travels like wild fire good news travels slow

They all call me Ol' Wildfire cause everybody knows

That I'm bad news everywhere I go hm hm always gettin' in trouble ha ha

And leaving little girls who hate to see me go

Well I've picked peaches in Georgia I lumberjacked up in Maine

I've been hired and fired and jailed in any state you can name

Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always gettin' in trouble ha ha ha and leaving little girls who hate to see me go

From north to south from east to west the story is the same

From one state to the other I have to change my name

Cause I'm bad news yeah everywhere I go

Yeah I'm always a gettin' in trouble ha ha ha

And leavin' little girls who hate to see me go

Well they tried to hang me up in Oakland and they did in San Frisco

But I wouldn't choke and I broke their rope and they had to let me go

Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always gettin' in trouble ha ha ha and leaving little girls who hate to see me go
