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.

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

From one state to another I have to change my name,

                 D7                                 A

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
