[verse 1]
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 mta

[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
charlie handed in his dimе at the kendall square station
and hе changed for jamaica plain
when he got there the conductor told him, “one more nickel”
charlie could not get off of that train!

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
now, all night long charlie rides through the tunnels
crying, “what will become of me?
how can i afford to see my sister in chelsea
or my cousin in roxbury?”

[chorus]
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

[verse 4]
charlie’s wife goes down to the scollay square station
every day at quarter past two
and through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich
as the train comes rumblin’ through
[chorus]
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

[verse 5]
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 walter o’brien!
get poor charlie off the mta
