Well, bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow.
They call me "Wildfire", 'cause ev'rybody knows
      D7                                 A
I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.

Always gettin' into trouble

And leavin' little girls that hate to see me go.

They tried to hang me in Oakland and they did in Fransisco.
But I wouldn't choke, I broke their rope and they had to let me go,
                 D7                                 A
'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
E7
Always gettin' into trouble

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,
                 D7                                 A
'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.

Well, now I picked peaches in Georgia, I lumberjacked in Maine.
I've been hired, fired and jailed; any town you can name,
                 E7                                 B
'cause I'm bad news ev'rywhere I go.
