Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
I have to change my name
Now from north to southeast
Always gettin' in a trouble
Always gettin' in a trouble
They all call me 'Wildfire' 'cause everybody knows
Good news travels slow
That hate to see me go
And they did in Francisco
In any town you can name
To west the story is the same
I've been hired, fired and jailed
And leaving little girls
I lumber jacked in Maine
Well, now I've picked peaches in Georgia
But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope
That sure hate to see me go
Always gettin' in a trouble
And they had to let me go
And leaving little girls
Always gettin' in a trouble
And leaving little girls
That hate to see me go
And leaving little girls
Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
They tried to hang me in Oakland
I'm bad news, everywhere I go
Cause I'm bad news everywhere I go
From one state to another
