If you miss me at the back of the bus
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there

If you miss me on the picket line
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the city jail
I'll be roaming over there

If you miss me in the Mississippi River
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the swimming pool
I'll be swimming right there

If you miss me in the cotton fields
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the courthouse
I'll be voting right there

If you miss me at the back of the bus
You can't find me nowhere
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there
