The Mta Song Lyrics
The Mta Song - Kingston Trio
Written by:DR
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 M T A
Well did he ever return
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
And he's the man who never returned
Charlie handed in his dime at the kendall square station
And we had to changed that 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
I observe her
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He'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 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 'neath the streets of Boston
He'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
Come on train
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
When I
Now ye citizens of Boston
Get it's a scandal
How the people have to pay and pay
Yeah I'm right Jack
Fight the fare increase vote for george o'brian
Get poor Charlie off the M T A
Or else he'll never return
No he'll never return and his fate will be still unlearned
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned
He's the man who never returned
He's the man who never returned
