Please help me. I can't seem to find the lyrics to Johnny Cash's "Bas News". It is on his "I Walk The Line" album released by Columbia in 1964.

BAD NEWS
Words and music by John D. Loudermilk
As recorded by Johnny Cash on “I Walk the Line” (1964)

1. Well, bad news travels like wildfire; good news travels slow.
They all call me Wildfire, ‘cause, everybody knows—

CHORUS: I'm bad news ev’rywhere I go,
Always gettin’ in trouble and leavin’ little girls that hate to see me go.

2. 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—CHORUS

3. Now, from north to south, to east to west, the story is the same:
From one state to another, I have to change my name,
‘Cause—CHORUS

4. Well, now, I picked peaches in Georgia, I lumberjacked in Maine.
I've been hired ‘n’ fired ‘n’ jailed, any town you can name,
‘Cause—CHORUS
