Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk Bad New is All the Wind Can Carry 
Bad News 
Bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow They call me Ol' Wildfire, 'cuz everybody knows That I'm bad news, everywhere I go Always gettin' in trouble, And leaving little girls who hate to see me go 
I've picked peaches down in Georgia, lumberjacked up in Maine 
I've been hired and fired and put in jail in every state you can name 
'Cuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go 
Always gettin' in trouble, 
And leaving little girls who hate to see me go 
From north to south, from east to west the story is the same 
From one state to the other, I have to change my name 
'Cuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go 
Always gettin' in trouble 
And leaving little girls who hate to see me go 
Now they tried to hang me down in Oakland and they did in San Frisco 
But I wouldn't choke and I broke their rope and they had to let me go 
'Cuz I'm bad news, everywhere I go 
Always gettin' in trouble 
And leaving little girls who hate to see me go
