Jerry Jeff Walker Bad News lyrics

Yeah, well, I picked peaches in Georgia
And I've lumber jacked 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 gettin' into trouble
Leavin' them girls they sure, hate to see me go

Now they say bad news is like wildfire
'N good news comes too slow
They all call me wildfire 'bout every place I go

'Cause I'm bad news
Seems like everywhere I go
Hell, I'm always gettin' into trouble
Leavin' them girls they sure hate to see the boy go


Yeah, they tried to hang me in Oakland
They tried it in San Francisco
I wouldn't choke and I broke the rope
They had to let me go

'Cause I'm bad news, yeah
Just about every place I go
Hell, I'm always gettin' into trouble
Leavin' them girls they sure, hate to see me go

'Cause I'm bad news, babe
'Cause I'm bad news, babe
[Incomprehensible] bad news, babe
I got news for you
