We don't ride on the back of the bus no more.
Sister Rose, she was tired one day after a hard day on her job.
When all she wanted was some wealth, it's her arrest not a [Am] seed from an angry mob.
A bus driver said, baby, you got to get him, because the white person wants that seat.
But Miss Rose, she said, no, not no more.
I'm going to stay right here and rest my feet.
Thank you, Miss Rose, you [G] are the star [Am] that started our freedom movement.
