| lyric | 1. If you miss me on the back of the bus,
and you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on up to the front of the bus,
I’ll be ridin’ up there.
2. If you miss me from the front of the bus,
And you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on up to the driver’s seat, I’ll be drivin’ up there.
I’ll be drivin’ up there, I’ll be drivin’ up there,
Come on up to the front of the bus,
I’ll be drivin’ up there.
3. If you miss me from Jackson State,
And you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on over to Ole Miss,
I’ll be studyin’ over there …
4. If you miss me from knockin’ on
Doors, and you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on down to the registrar’s room,
I’ll be the registrar there …
5. If you miss me from the cotton field,
And you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on down to the court house,
I’ll be voting right there …
6. If you miss me from the picket line,
And you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on down to the jail-house,
I’ll be rooming down there …
7. If you miss me from the Mississippi
River, and you can’t find me nowhere,
Come on down to the city pool,
I’ll be swimming in there |
