BAD NEWS

(Written by John D. Loudermilk)



(As performed by Johnny Cash)


Well, bad news travels like wildfire

Good news travel slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows


(Chorus)

I'm bad, everywhere I go

Always gettin' in trouble

And leaving little girls

That hate to see me go


They tried to hang me in Oakland

And they did in Francisco

But I wouldn't choke, I broke the rope

And they had to let me go, 'cause


(Repeat Chorus)


Now from north to south, from east to west

The story is the same

From one state to another

I have to change my name, 'cause


(Repeat Chorus)


Now I picked peaches in Georgia

I lumberjacked in Maine

I've been hired, fired and jailed

In any town you can name, 'cause


(Repeat Chorus)



(As performed by Eddy Arnold)


Bad news travels like wildfire

Good news travels slow


They call my your Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows


That I'm bad news

Everywhere I go, whoa

Always gettin' into trouble

He he he he he hea

And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go


I've picked peaches down in Georgia

Lumberjacked up in Maine

I've been hired and jailed

In every state you can name


Because I'm bad news

Everywhere I go, whoa

Always gettin' into trouble

Ye he he he he he yeah

And leavin' 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


Because I'm bad news

Everywhere I go, whoa

Always a gettin' into trouble

Ha ha ha ha

And leavin' little girls who hate to see me go


Now they tried to hang me down in Oakland

And they did in San Frisco

But I wouldn't choke

And I broke their rope

They had to let me go


Because I'm bad news

Everywhere I go, whoa

Always gettin' into trouble

And leavin' little girls who hate to see me go

He he he he hea
