Lyrics by：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
