If you miss me at the back of the bus
And you can’t find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I’ll be riding right there
Chorus: I’ll be riding right there
I’ll be riding right there
Come on over to the front of the bus
I’ll be riding right there
If you miss me in the Mississippi mud
And you can’t find me nowhere
Come on over to the swimming pool
I’ll be swimming right there
Chorus: I’ll be swimming etc.
If you miss me in the cotton field
And you can’t find me nowhere
Come on over to the court house
And I’ll be voting right there
Chorus: I’ll be voting etc.
If you miss me on the picket line
And you can’t find me nowhere
Come on over to the jail-house
I’ll be rooming right there
Chorus: I’ll be rooming etc.
If you miss me at the back of the bus
And you can’t find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I’ll be riding right there
Chorus: I’ll be riding etc.
