Johnny Cash Bad News Lyrics

Bad News Lyrics

Come on, bad news

Well, bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me 'Wildfire' '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 they 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 southeast

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 sure hate to see me go



Well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia

I lumber jacked 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
