[00:00:00] M.T.A. - The Kingston Trio

[00:00:02] Written by：Hawes Bess/Steiner Jacqueline

[00:00:05] These are the times that try men souls

[00:00:08] In the course of our nation's history

[00:00:09] The people of Boston have rallied bravely

[00:00:11] Whenever the rights of men have been threatened

[00:00:13] Today a new crisis has arisen

[00:00:15] The metropolitan transit authority better known as the mat

[00:00:18] Is attempting to levy a burdensome tax on the population

[00:00:21] In the form of a subway fare increase

[00:00:24] Citizens hear me out this could happen to you

[00:00:37] Well let me tell you of the story of a man named charlie

[00:00:40] On a tragic and fateful day

[00:00:44] He put ten cents in his pocket kissed his wife and family

[00:00:47] Went to ride on the mat

[00:00:50] Well did he ever return

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

[00:00:57] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:01:01] And he's the man who never returned

[00:01:04] Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall square station

[00:01:07] And he changed for Jamaica plain

[00:01:10] When he got there the conductor told him one more nickel

[00:01:14] Charlie couldn't get off of that train

[00:01:17] But did he ever return

[00:01:19] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:01:24] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:01:27] He's the man who never returned

[00:01:31] Now all night long charlie rides through the station

[00:01:34] Crying what will become of me

[00:01:37] How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea

[00:01:40] Or my cousin in Burberry

[00:01:43] But did he ever return

[00:01:45] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:01:50] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:01:54] He's the man who never returned

[00:01:57] Charles's wife goes down to the Sculley square station

[00:02:00] Every day at quarter past two

[00:02:03] And through the open window she hands charlie a sandwich

[00:02:07] As the train comes rumbling through

[00:02:10] But did he ever return

[00:02:12] No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned

[00:02:17] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:02:20] He's the man who never returned

[00:02:23] Pick it Dave kind of hurts my fingers

[00:02:36] Now ye citizens of Boston

[00:02:38] Don't you think it's a scandal

[00:02:40] How the people have to pay and pay

[00:02:43] Fight the fare increase vote for George O'Brien

[00:02:46] Get poor charlie off the mat

[00:02:49] Or else he'll never return

[00:02:51] No he'll never return and his fate is still unlearned

[00:02:56] He may ride forever neath the streets of Boston

[00:02:59] He's the man who never returned

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

[00:03:06] He's the man who never returned

[00:03:08] He's the man
