Bad News Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Come on for bad news
Well, bad news travels like wildfire
Good news travels slow
They all call me Wildfire
′Cause everybody knows

I'm bad news (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 the rope
And they had to let me go

'Cause I′m bad news (bad news)
Everywhere I go
Always gettin′ in a trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go


Now from north to south, to east, to west
The story is the same
From one state to another
I have to change my name

'Cause I′m bad news (bad news)
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in a trouble
And leaving little girls that′s sure hate to see me go

Here he comes again
Yeah!

Well, well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia
I lumberjacked in Maine
I′ve been hired, fired and jailed
Any town you can name

'Cause I'm bad news (bad news)
Everywhere I go
Always gettin′ in a trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go
(Bad news)

Stay here, baby
