If You Miss Me From The Back Of The Bus

If you miss me from the back of the bus

and you can't find me nowhere

come on up to the front of the bus

I'll be driving up there.

If you miss me from Jackson State

and you can't find me nowhere

come on over to "ole Miss"

I'll be studying over there.

If you miss me from knocking on doors

and you can't find me nowhere

come on down to the registrar's room

I'll be the registrar there.

If you miss me from the cotton fields

and you can't find me nowhere

come on down to the courthouse

I'll be voting right there.

If you miss me from the picket line

and you can't find me nowhere

come on down to the jailhouse

I'll be rooming down there.

If you miss me from the Mississippi River

and you can't find me nowhere

come on down the the city pool

I'll be swimming in there.
