vocaroo sing it
Well, 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
Well, did he ever return?
No, he never returned and his fate is still unlearned (poor chalie!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
And he's the man who never returned
Charlie handed in his dime at the Kendall Square station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel"
Charlie couldn't get off of that train!
But did he ever return?
No, he never returned and his fate is still unlearned (poor charlie!)
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned

all the youtube versions I can find are in the wrong key, and not the way I learned it at camp, so if you know it, you know it
but um when you say "poor charlie" you kinda shout it
