Frank V. Gardner - We Want a Bridge at Echols Street

(Tune: 'Hi Lee, Hi Lo, Hi Lup up up') br br We want a bridge at Echols Street! br We need it right away! br We're showing all the townspeople br By marching here today. br br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br br It's something we've been waiting for br Throughout so many years; br And in the process we have shed br A lot of sweat and tears. br br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br br That Maple Avenue is such br A long way all around. br A bridge at Echols Street that's safe br Is needed by our town. br br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup up up; br Hi lee, hi lo, hi lup. br br br (Children's march to Town Hall, Vienna, Virginia, May 25,1963) .br br Frank V.
