Bad News by Boxcar Willie Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well bad news travels like a wild fire
Good news travels slow
And they call me old wild fire
Well everywhere I go

[Chorus]
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go

[Verse 2]
Well I've picked peaches down in Georgia
I lumber jacked up in Maine
And I've been hired and fired and jailed
In every state you can name

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm bad news everybody knows
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
Bad news (Bad news)
I can tell we ain't a gonna be here long
[Verse 3]
Well from north to south
From east to west the story is the same
From one state to the other
I had to change my name

[Chorus]
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go

[Verse 4]
Well they tried to hang me down in Oakland
They did in San Francisco
But I wouldn't choke and I broke their rope
And they had to let me go

[Chorus]
Lord I'm bad news everybody knows
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
