MTA Lyrics

MTA - The Kingston Trio

Written by：Steiner/Guard

Oh let me tell you all the story

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

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 handed in his dime

Kendall square station

And he changed for jamaica plain

When he got there the conductor

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

All night long charlie

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

See miss candy

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

He's the man who never returned

Charlie's wife goes down

To the scully square station

Every day at a quarter past two

And through the open window

She hands charlie a sandwich

As the train comes rumbling through

But did he ever return

Now he never return

And his fate is still unlearned

Thats my colleagues

He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston

He's the man who never returned

Thank you baby

Now you citizens of Boston

Don't you think it's a scandal

How the people have to pay and pay

Fight the fare increase vote for george o'ryan

Poor charlie off the M T A

Or else he'll never return

No he never return

And his fate can be unlearned

He may ride

He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

He's the man who never returned

He's the man who never returned

Hes the man who never returned

Never return
