Subject: ADD: If You Miss Me at the Back Of The Bus
Pete Seeger's Carnegie Hall lyrics are almost the same as what Dick Greenhaus posted above.

IF YOU MISS ME AT THE BACK OF THE BUS

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 up there.
I'll be riding up there,
I'll be riding up there.
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there.

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

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

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

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 up there.
I'll be riding up there,
I'll be riding up there.
Come on over to the front of the bus
I'll be riding up there.
