Lyrics
no he ll never return and his fate is still unlearned
He s the man who never returned, no he ll never return and his fate is still unlearned
In the course of our nation s history, but did he ever return
But did he ever return, you citizens of boston The, he s the man who never returned
How the people have to pay and pay, he may ride forever neath the streets of boston
Did he ever return, he s the man who never returned M.T.A., the metropolitan transit authority
jacqueline steiner and bess lomax hawes
he may ride forever neath the streets of boston
charlie handed in his dime at the kendall square station
One more nickel, in the form of a subway fare increase, he may ride forever neath the streets of boston
He may ride forever, vote for george o brian
Whenever the rights of men have been threatened, he may ride forever neath the streets of boston M.T.A., let me tell you of the story of a man named charlie
This could happen to you, and he s the man who never returned
These are the times that try men s souls, in the course of our nation s history
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned, this could happen to you, no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned
But did he ever return, as the train comes rumbling through
What will become of me, he s the man who never returned M.T.A., he put ten cents in his pocket
And through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich, or else he ll never return, when he got there the conductor told him
poor old charlie
On a tragic and fateful day, he put ten cents in his pocket
Is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population, charlie s wife goes down to the scollay square station
he s the man who never returned
He may ride forever neath the streets of boston, he s the man who never returned
How can i afford to see my sister in chelsea, what will become of me
On a tragic and fateful day, no he ll never return and his fate is still unlearned The, kinda hurts my fingers
He s the man who never returned, he s the man who never returned, he may ride forever neath the streets of boston
He s the man who never returned, pick it davey Kingston, just like paul revere
in the form of a subway fare increase
Let me tell you of the story of a man named charlie, went to ride on the mta
on a tragic and fateful day
But did he ever return, he may ride forever neath the streets of boston The, he s the man who never returned
and through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich
he s the man who never returned
He s the man who never returned, is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population
He s the man who never returned, let me tell you of the story of a man named charlie Kingston, kissed his wife and family
He may ride forever, he s the man who never returned
poor old charlie
You citizens of boston, pick it davey, he put ten cents in his pocket
no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned
The people of boston have rallied bravely, every day at quarter past two Trio, today a new crisis has arisen
one more nickel
Every day at quarter past two, he s the man who never returned, whenever the rights of men have been threatened
