[00:00:00] M. T. A. (In the Style of Kingston Trio) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)

[00:00:01] These are the times that try men's souls

[00:00:06] In the course of our nation's history

[00:00:07] The people of Boston have rallied

[00:00:09] Bravely whenever the rights of men have been threatened

[00:00:11] Today a new crisis has arisen

[00:00:14] The Metropolitan

[00:00:14] Transit Authority better known as the M T A

[00:00:17] Is attempting to levy a burdensome tax

[00:00:19] On the population in the form of a subway fare increase

[00:00:22] Citizens hear me out

[00:00:24] This could happen to you

[00:00:36] Well let me tell you of the story of a man

[00:00:39] Named Charley on a tragic and fateful day

[00:00:42] He put ten cents in his pocket

[00:00:44] Kissed his wife and family

[00:00:45] Went to ride on the M T A

[00:00:49] Well did he ever return

[00:00:51] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

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

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

[00:01:03] Charlie handed in his dime at the

[00:01:05] Kendall Square Station and he changed for Jamaica Plain

[00:01:09] When he got there the conductor told him

[00:01:12] One more nickel

[00:01:12] Charlie couldn't get off of that train

[00:01:16] Well did he ever return

[00:01:17] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:01:22] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:01:26] He's the man who never returned

[00:01:29] Now all night long Charlie rides through the station crying

[00:01:33] What will become of me

[00:01:36] How can I afford to see my sister

[00:01:38] In Chelsea or my cousin in Roxbury

[00:01:42] Well did he ever return

[00:01:44] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:01:49] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:01:52] He's the man who never returned

[00:01:56] Charlie's wife goes down to the Sculley Square Station every day

[00:02:00] At quarter past two

[00:02:02] And through the open window

[00:02:04] She hands Charlie a sandwich as the train comes rumbling through

[00:02:09] Well did he ever return

[00:02:11] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:02:15] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:02:19] He's the man who never returned

[00:02:35] Now you citizens of Boston

[00:02:37] Don't you think it's a scandal how the people have to pay and pay

[00:02:41] Fight the fare increase

[00:02:43] Vote for George O'Brien

[00:02:45] Get poor Charlie off the M T A

[00:02:48] Well did he ever return

[00:02:50] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:02:55] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:02:58] He's the man who never returned

[00:03:01] He's the man who never returned

[00:03:04] He's the man who never returned

[00:03:08] Ain't you Charlie
