No Bad News (DGR 23) Jon Jones, Deborah Carroll-Jones, Vernon Jones

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Circle left
When I wake up in the afternoon, which it pleases me to do
(MB) If you're talking to me, don't be cryin' the blues
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

FIGURE

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
