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

Well did he ever return

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever the streets of boston

And he 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 nickel

Charlie couldn get off of that train

But did he ever return

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever the streets of boston

He the man who never returned

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

But did he ever return

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever the streets of boston

He the man who never returned

Charlie wife goes down to the sculley square station

Every day at quarter past two

And through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich

As the train comes rumbling through

But did he ever return

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever the streets of boston

He the man who never returned

Now ye citizens of boston

Don you think it a scandal

How the people have to pay and pay

Fight the fare increase vote for george o

Get poor charlie off the mta

Or else he never return

No he never return and his fate is still unlearned

He may ride forever the streets of boston

He the man who never returned

He the man who never returned

He the man who never returned

Ain you charlie
