Bad News Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Bad news travels like wild fire good news travels slow 

They all call me a Wildfire cause everybody knows 

That I'm bad news everywhere I go 

Always a gettin' in the trouble ha ha ha 

And leavin' little girls who hate to see me go 

I've picked peaches down in Georgia lumber-jacked up in Maine 

I've been hired and jailed in every state you can name 

Because I'm bad news 

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 

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
