Song lyrics:
G C
Let me tell you of the story 'bout a man named Charlie
G D7
Оn a tragic and fateful day.
G C
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
G D7 G
Went to ride on the M T А.
СНОRUS:
G C
Well did he ever return? No he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
G C
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
G D7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
G C
When he got there the conductor told him, "Оnе more nickel!"
G D7 G
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
СНОRUS:
G C
Well did he ever return? No he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
G C
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
G D7
Crying, "What will become of me?
G C
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea,
G D7 G
Оr my cousin in Roxbury?"
СНОRUS:
G C
Well did he ever return? No he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
G C
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square Station,
G D7
Every day at a quarter past two.
G C
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
G D7 G
As the train comes rumbling through.
СНОRUS:
G C
Well did he ever return? No he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
G C
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
G D7
How the people have to pay and pay?
G C
Fight the fare increase, vote for George О'Brien,
G D7 G
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!
СНОRUS:
G C
Well did he ever return? No he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
