[Intro]
Ha ha ha, Come on, bad news, ha ha
[Verse 1]
Well, bad news travels like wild fire
Good news travels slow
They all call me Wildfire, ha ha
'cause everybody knows
[Chorus]
I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'cause I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
'cause I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that sure hate to see me go
[Verse 4]
Well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia
I've lumberjacked in Maine
I've been hired, fired, and jailed
In any town you can name
[Chorus]
'cause I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go
[Outro]
