Let me ^Ctell you of a story 'bout a ^Fman named Charlie On a ^Ctragic and fateful ^G7day. He put ^Cten cents in his pocket, kissed his ^Fwife and family, Went to ^Cride on the ^G7M T ^CA.

But will he ^Cever return? No he'll ^Fnever return, And his ^Cfate is still un^G7learned. He may ^Cride forever 'neath the ^Fstreets of Boston, He's the ^Cman who ^G7never re^Cturned.

Charlie ^Chanded in his dime at the ^FScully Square Station, And he ^Cchanged for Jamaica ^G7Plain. When he ^Cgot there the conductor told him, "^FOne more nickel!" Charlie ^Ccouldn't get ^G7off of that ^Ctrain.

Now ^Call night long Charlie ^Frides through the stations, Crying, "^CWhat will become of ^G7me? How ^Ccan I afford to see my ^Fsister in Chelsey, Or my ^Cbrother in ^G7Roxbu^Cry?"

Charlie's ^Cwife goes down to the ^FScully Square Station, Every ^Cday at a quarter past ^G7two. And ^Cthrough the open window she hands ^FCharlie his sandwich As the ^Ctrain goes ^G7rumbling ^Cthrough.

Now you ^Ccitizens of Boston, don't you ^Fthink it's a scandal, How the ^Cpeople have to pay and ^G7pay? Fight the ^Cfare increase, vote for ^FGeorge O'Brien, Get poor ^CCharlie off the ^G7M T ^CA!
