Charlie On The M.T.A. (Other Song)

Vamp on G

Now let me Gtell you a story

'bout a Cman named Charlie

On this Gtragic & fateful D7day

He put G10 cents in his pocket,

kissed his Cwife and family

Went to Gride on the D7M.T.GA.

But did he Gever return?

No, he Cnever returned,

And his Gfate is still un-D7learned

He may Gride forever

'neath the Cstreets of Boston

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned

Charlie Ghanded in his dime

at the CKendall Square Station

And he Gchanged for Jamaica D7Plain

When he Ggot there the conductor

told him 'COne more nickel'

Charlie Gcouldn't get D7off that Gtrain

But did he Gever return?

No, he Cnever returned,

And his Gfate is still un-D7learned

He may Gride forever

'neath the Cstreets of Boston

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned

Now Gall night long

Charlie Crides through the station

Saying, 'GWhat will become of D7me?

How can GI afford

to see my Csister in Chelsea

Or my Gcousin in D7Roxbu-Gry?'

But did he Gever return?

No, he Cnever returned,

And his Gfate is still un-D7learned

He may Gride forever

'neath the Cstreets of Boston

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned

Charlie's Gwife goes down

to CScollay Square Station

Every Gday at a quarter past D7two

And through the Gopen window

she hands CCharlie a sandwich

As the Gtrain comes D7rumblin' Gthrough

But did he Gever return?

No, he Cnever returned,

And his Gfate is still un-D7learned

He may Gride forever

'neath the Cstreets of Boston

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned

Now you Gcitizens of Boston,

don't you Cthink it is a scandal

That the Gpeople have to pay and D7pay

Fight the Gfare increase,

vote for CGeorge O'Brien

And get GCharlie off the D7M.T.GA.!

But did he Gever return?

No, he Cnever returned,

And his Gfate is still un-D7learned

He may Gride forever

'neath the Cstreets of Boston

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned

He's the Gman who D7never re-Gturned
