bad news

Singer: jerry jeff walker

yeah

well

i picked peaches in georgia

and i've lumberjacked in maine

been hired and fired and been in jail

in 'bout every state you can name

hell

i'm bad news honey

bad news every place i go

'cause i'm always getting into trouble

leavin' them girls early - hate to see me go

they say bad news is like wildfire

'n good news comes too slow

they always call me wildfire wherever i go

you know they tried to hang me in oakland

tried it in frisco too

i wouldn't choke

i broke the rope

they had to let me go
