Bad News Chords & Lyrics - Boxcar Willie

[C]Well bad news travels like wild fire


Good news travels slow

And they call me old wild fire everywhere I [C7]go


Lord I'm [F]bad news everybody [C]knows

[G7]Always gettin' into trouble

And [F]leaving little girls

That hate to see me [C]go

NC
Well I've picked peaches down in Georgia

I lumber jacked up in Maine

And I've been hired and fired and jailed

In every state you can [C7]name


NC
Cause I'm...

Lord I'm b[F]ad news everybody k[C]nows

[G7]Always gettin' into trouble

And [F]leaving little girls

That hate to see me [C]go

NC
Well from north to south

From east to west the story is the same

From one state to the other

I had to change my [C7]name


Lord I'm [F]bad news everybody [C]knows

[G7]Always gettin' into trouble

And [F]leaving little girls

That hate to see me [C]go

NC
Well they tried to hang me down in Oakland

They did in San Francisco

But I wouldn't choke and I broke their rope

And they had to let me [C7]go


Lord I'm [F]bad news everybody [C]knows

[G7]Always gettin' into trouble

And [F]leaving little girls

That hate to see me [C]go
