Bad News Songtext
von Johnny Winter

Bad news travels like a wildfire
And good news travels slow
They call me a wildfire
Every place I go

Child, I′m bad news
Every place I go, now
I'm always a-gettin′ into trouble
And I'm leavin' little girls
That hate to see me go

I picked the peaches down in Georgia
A lumberjack up in Maine
I′ve been hired and fired and jailed
In every state you could name


Girl, I′m bad news
Every place I go, now
Because I'm always a-gettin′ into trouble
And I'm leavin′ little girls
That hate to see me go

Tried to hang me down in Oakland
They did in old Frisco
I wouldn't choke and I broke the rope
Lord, they had to let me go

′Cause I'm bad news
Every place I go, every place I go
You know I'm always a-gettin′ into trouble
And I′m leavin' little girls
That hate to see me go

Because I′m bad news
You better believe it
Lord, I'm bad news
Tell it like it is
I got to tell you, Lord, I′m bad news
I'm bad news
