Lyrics Bad News - Rosemary Clooney
Well,
bad
news
travels
like
wildfire,
Good
news
travels
slow.
They
all
call
me
"wildfire,",
'Cause
everybody
knows
I'm
bad
news,
everywhere
I
go,
Always
gettin'
in
trouble
And
a-leavin'
little
girls
That
hate
to
see
me
go.
They
tried
to
hang
me
in
Oakland,
And
they
did
in
Francisco.
But
I
wouldn't
choke,
I
broke
the
rope,
And
they
had
to
let
me
go,
'Cause
I'm
bad
news,
everywhere
I
go,
Always
gettin'
in
trouble
And
leavin'
little
girls
That
hate
to
see
me
go.
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,
'Cause
I'm
bad
news,
everywhere
I
go,
Always
gettin'
in
trouble
And
a-leavin'
little
girls
That
sure
hate
to
see
me
go.
Well,
now
I
picked
peaches
in
Georgia,
I
lumberjacked
in
Maine.
I've
been
hired,
and
fired,
and
jailed
Any
town
you
can
name,
'Cause
I'm
bad
news,
everywhere
I
go,
Always
gettin'
into
trouble
And
a-leavin'
little
girls
That
hate
to
see
me
go.
