Lyrics:

Well bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow
They all call me Wildfire, īcuz everybody knows
That I'm bad news, everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go

They tried to hang me down in Oakland
And they did in San Frisco
But I wouldn't choke and broke their rope
And they had to let me go
īCuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that sure hate to see me go

From north to south, east to west
The story is the same
From one state to the other, I have to change my name
īCuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that hate to see me go

Well I've picked peaches down in Georgia
And lumber jacked up in Maine
I've been hired, fired, jailed
In every state you can name
īCuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go
Always getting into trouble
And leaving little girls that sure hate to se me go
Bad news, bad news
