The Kingston Trio

       C                           FLet me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
     C                  G7On a tragic and fateful day.
       C                                   FHe put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
        C           G7  CWent to ride on the M T A.

            C                      FBut will he ever return?  No he'll never return,
        C               G7And his fate is still unlearned.
       C                       FHe may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
         C       G7      CHe's the man who never returned.

        C                         FCharlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
       C                   G7And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
        C                                  FWhen he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
        C            G7          CCharlie couldn't get off of that train.

    C                      FNow all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
         C                   G7Crying, "What will become of me?
    C                      FHow can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
      C          G7   COr my brother in Roxbury?"

          C                     FCharlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
      C                     G7Every day at a quarter past two.
    C                                 FAnd through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
       C          G7       CAs the train goes rumbling through.

        C                             FNow you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
        C                      G7How the people have to pay and pay?
          C                       FFight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
         C               G7  CGet poor Charlie off the M T A!
