In the course of our nation's history the people of Boston have rallied bravely whenever the rights of men have been threatened. Today a new crisis has arisen. The Metropolitan transit Authority -- better known as they MTA -- is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population in the form of a subway fare increase. Citizens, hear me out! this could happen to you! Well let me tell you of the story of a man named Charlie on a tragic and fateful day he put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family went to ride on the MTA (Chorus) well did he ever return? no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston he's the man who never returned Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station and he changed for Jamaica Plain When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickle". Charlie couldn't get off of that train. (Chorus) Now all night long Charlie rides through the station, crying, "what will become of me?! How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea or my cousin in Roxbury?"" (chorus) Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square station Every day at quarter past two And through the open window she hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumblin' through (Chorus) [pick it Davey] [kind of hurts my fingers] Now ye citizens of Boston don't you think it's a scandal how the people have to pay and pay? fight the fare increase, Vote for George O'Brian Get poor Charlie off the MTA (chorus) [fade] he's the man who never returned he's the man who never returned he's the man who never returned [et tu, Charlie?] Album Lyrics: Other Songs - The Kingston Trio The Kingston Trio "Other Songs - The Kingston Trio" 1. 500 Miles 2.
