Johnny Winter Bad News
One, two, one two three four...
Bad news travels like a wildfire
And good news travels slow
They call my your Wildfire
Every place I go
'Cause I'm bad news
Mmmm... every place I go, oh oh now
Oh Lord always gettin' in trouble
Leavin' little girls who hate to see me go
(Bad news, bad news) [repeat ad lib.]
I've picked peaches down in Georgia
Lumberjacked up in Maine
I've been hired and jailed
In every state you can name
'Cause I'm bad news
Every place I go, oh oh now
Because I'm always gettin' into trouble
And I'm leavin' little girls who hate to see me go
(Bad news, bad news)
(Bad news, bad news)
[Instrumental]
Lord they tried to hang me down in Oakland
And they did in San Frisco
But I wouldn't choke
And I broke their rope
And they had to let me go
'Cause I'm bad news
Every place I go, every place I go
You know I'm always gettin' into trouble
And I'm leavin' little girls who hate to see me go
(Bad news, bad news) [repeat ad lib.]
Because I'm bad news...
Oh you better believe it...
Oh I'm bad news... I tell it like it is...
I got to tell you Lord, I'm bad news...
Yeah I'm bad news...
