[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]
Say hey baby
