Bad News Songtext
von Jerry Jeff Walker

Learned this here lick from Johnny Cash
Hey well, I′ve picked peaches in Georgia
And I've lumberjacked in Maine
Been hired and fired and been jailed
By every state you can name

Yeah, I′m bad news, honey
Bad news every place I go
'Cause I'm always getting into trouble
Leavin′ little girls, they sure hate to see me go

Now they say bad news is like wildfire
And good news is company slow
They all call me wildfire
About every place I go


′Cause I'm bad news, ha ha ha
Seems like everywhere I go
Well, I′m always getting into trouble
Leavin' little girls, they sure hate to see the boy go

Yeah, they tried to hang me in Oakland
They tried again in San Francisco
I wouldn′t choke, you know I broke the rope
They had to let me go

'Cause I′m bad news, baby, ha yeah
Guess I'm right every place I go
Yeah, I'm always getting into trouble
Leavin′ little girls, they sure hate to see me go

Yeah, I guess I′m bad news, baby
Going bad news, baby
Doing it for bad news, baby
I got news for you
