Bad News - Rosemary Clooney

Well, bad news travels like wildfire

Good news travel slow

They all call me Wildfire

'Cause everybody knows

(Chorus)

I’m bad, everywhere I go

Always gettin' in trouble

And leaving 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

(Repeat Chorus)

Now from north to south, from east to west

The story is the same

From one state to another

I have to change my name, 'cause

(Repeat Chorus)

Now I picked peaches in Georgia

I lumberjacked in Maine

I’ve been hired, fired and jailed

In any town you can name, 'cause
