作词 : Hawes, Steiner | |
These are the times that try men's souls | |
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 | |
MTAIs 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 | |
CharlieOn a tragic and fateful day | |
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family | |
Went to ride on the | |
MTAWell, did he ever return? | |
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned | |
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of | |
BostonAnd 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 nickel" | |
Charlie couldn't get off of that train | |
But did he ever return? | |
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned | |
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of | |
BostonHe's 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 ChelseaOr my cousin in Roxbury?" | |
But did he ever return? | |
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned | |
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of | |
BostonHe's the man who never returned | |
Charlie's 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 'neath the streets of | |
BostonHe's the man who never returned | |
Pick it Davey, kind of hurts my fingers | |
Now, ye citizens of | |
BostonDon'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 | |
MTAOr else he'll never return | |
No he'll never return and his fate is still unlearned | |
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of | |
BostonHe's the man who never returned | |
He's the man who never returned | |
He's the man who never returned | |
He's the man who never returned | |
Ain't you, | |
Charlie? |
