No Bad News Mabel King & The Winkies 1975 | (Desert Gold 23) Jon Jones, Deborah Carroll-Jones, Vernon Jones |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK Basic
Circle left
*When I wake up in the afternoon, which it pleases me to do
Don't nobody bring me no bad news
Walk around your corner, see saw around your own
Allemande left with the corner one, weave the ring
No bad news (echo - "No bad news")
No bad news (echo - "No bad news")
Swing that girl and promenade her if you choose
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me something I can use
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*If you're talking to me, don't be cryin' the blues
FIGURE Basic, R-H lady progression
Heads (sides) promenade and go 3/4 'round the ring
2 & 4 (1 & 3) go right & left thru a full turn I sing
Circle to a line, break right out in time
Lines go forward up, come on back, and then pass the ocean
Swing thru and then girls circulate, boys trade
Swing that girl and promenade
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me something I can use
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
CLOSER
Four boys promenade now one time in the middle of the ring
Get back home and swing that gal you know
Join all your hands and circle left
Testify
Allemande left with the corner one and weave around that ring
No bad news (echo - "No bad news")
No bad news (echo - "No bad news")
Swing that girl around and promenade her if you choose
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me something I can use
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
TAG
Four ladies chain over and back
If you're gonna bring me something
Bring me something I can use
But don't nobody bring me no bad news
