M.T.A. - The Kingston Trio[00:00:00]

Written by：Hawes Bess/Steiner Jacqueline[00:00:02]

These are the times that try men souls[00:00:05]

In the course of our nation's history[00:00:08]

The people of Boston have rallied bravely[00:00:09]

Whenever the rights of men have been threatened[00:00:11]

Today a new crisis has arisen[00:00:13]

The metropolitan transit authority better known as the mat[00:00:15]

Is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population[00:00:18]

In the form of a subway fare increase[00:00:21]

Citizens hear me out this could happen to you[00:00:24]

Well let me tell you of the story of a man named charlie[00:00:37]

On a tragic and fateful day[00:00:40]

He put ten cents in his pocket kissed his wife and family[00:00:44]

Went to ride on the mat[00:00:47]

Well did he ever return[00:00:50]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:00:52]

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston[00:00:57]

And he's the man who never returned[00:01:01]

Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall square station[00:01:04]

And he changed for Jamaica plain[00:01:07]

When he got there the conductor told him one more nickel[00:01:10]

Charlie couldn't get off of that train[00:01:14]

But did he ever return[00:01:17]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:01:19]

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston[00:01:24]

He's the man who never returned[00:01:27]

Now all night long charlie rides through the station[00:01:31]

Crying what will become of me[00:01:34]

How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea[00:01:37]

Or my cousin in Burberry[00:01:40]

But did he ever return[00:01:44]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:01:45]

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston[00:01:50]

He's the man who never returned[00:01:54]

Charles's wife goes down to the Sculley square station[00:01:57]

Every day at quarter past two[00:02:00]

And through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich[00:02:03]

As the train comes rumbling through[00:02:07]

But did he ever return[00:02:10]

No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned[00:02:12]

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston[00:02:17]

He's the man who never returned[00:02:20]

Pick it Dave kind of hurts my fingers[00:02:23]

Now ye citizens of Boston[00:02:36]

Don't you think it's a scandal[00:02:38]

How the people have to pay and pay[00:02:40]

Fight the fare increase vote for George O'Brien[00:02:43]

Get poor charlie off the mat[00:02:46]

Or else he'll never return[00:02:49]

No he'll never return and his fate is still unlearned[00:02:51]

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston[00:02:56]

He's the man who never returned[00:02:59]

He's the man who never returned[00:03:03]

He's the man who never returned[00:03:06]

He's the man[00:03:08]
