Artist/Band: Eddy Arnold
Lyrics for Song: Bad News
Lyrics for Album: Easy Way [RCA Victor] [1965]



(John D. Loudermilk)



Bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows.

That I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always a gettin' in the trouble. ha, ha, ha

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



I've picked peaches down in Georgia

Lumberjacked up in Maine

I've been hired and jailed

In every state you can name.



Because I'm bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows.

That I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always a gettin' in the trouble. ha, ha, ha

And leavin' 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



Because I'm bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows.

That I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always a gettin' in the trouble, ha, ha, ha

And leavin' 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

They had to let me go.



Because I'm bad news travels like wild fire

Good news travels slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows.

That I'm bad news everywhere I go

Always a gettin' in the trouble, ha, ha, ha

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