Intro:
G  G

Verse 1:
G
Some city folks are staying at a place right near our farm
    C                                              G
The other night they gave a dance and held it in our barn
  C                                G                 E7
A city band was playing while they danced around the floor
         A7                          D7
They did one called the mambo that I never saw before

Chorus:
          G                                          D
Well, the mambo is a hoedown that's just got a Latin beat
                                                         G
To me it looks just like they're dancing on each other's feet
    C             A             G                E7
The feller who is calling has a stomach pain, no doubt
A7                                D7          A7     D    N.C.
When it starts to hurt him, he'll stand right up and shout (Ugh!)

   G                                                    D7
It sounds just like a breakdown and they play it mighty fast
                                                 G
Instead of using fiddles they just use alone the brass
      C           A             G             E7
If my brains ever jumbled, I'll have myself a fling
     A7                                    D7          G
I'll take a chance and learn to dance that crazy mambo thing

Verse 2:
G
On Saturday I went down to the square dance in our town
   C                                              G
I told the fiddle player about this mambo dance I found
   C             A                 G              E7
He said if I describe it, he would try to play it too
    A7                                   D
But when I tried to tell him, here's the best that I could do


Chorus:
          G                                          D7
Well, the mambo is a hoedown that's just got a Latin beat
                                                         G
To me it looks just like they're dancing on each other's feet
    C             A             G                E7
The feller who is calling has a stomach pain, no doubt
A7                                D7          A7     D    N.C.
When it starts to hurt him, he'll stand right up and shout (Ugh!)

   G                                                    D7
It sounds just like a breakdown and they play it mighty fast
                                                 G
Instead of using fiddles they just use alone the brass
      C           A             G             E7
If my brains ever jumbled, I'll have myself a fling
     A7                                    D7          G
I'll take a chance and learn to dance that crazy mambo thing
