Ha ha ha come on bad news ha ha 

Well bad news travels like wild fire goodnews travels slow 

They all call me Wildfire ha ha 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 the 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 south east 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 hate to see me go

Well now I've picked peaches in Georgia I lumberjacked 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
