Mama Warned You    (ROC 113)   Dean Crowell

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK



Circle left
*Well I don't know why I'm smiling, I just feel this urge to grin
If I try to charm you, well that's just the mood that I'm in

Allemande that corner lady, dosado now
Left allemande, come on and weave the ring and go yeah
I'm the one Mama warned you about, I'm the guy Mama told you about
Swing that girl and you promenade her
I'm the one Mama warned you about, I'm the guy Mama told you about
Take another look and then look out! Mama warned you

FIGURE



Head couples promenade go halfway around
Come down the middle and square thru well 4 hands around
Go all the way and then a right & left thru the outside two
Hey veer to the left and ferris wheel to the middle you do
Square thru in the middle and go 3 hands around you know
Swing that corner lady, you promenade her
I'm the one Mama warned you about, I'm the guy Mama told you about
Take another look and then look out! Mama warned you

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*I just want to bare the facts to help you understand
Sometimes when two bodies touch, things get out of hand

CLOSER



Sides face, grand square
Maybe we should just kick back and keep it kind of light
Cause baby we've been here before and maybe Mama's right
I just want to make it clear the moon is full tonight
And if you say that I should stay, I just might!

Four ladies promenade and go one time around you know
Get back home and swing, you promenade her
I'm the one Mama warned you about, I'm the guy Mama told you about
Take another look and then look out! Mama warned you

TAG



Swing her
Mama warned you!
Yea-eee!
