anybody old enough to remember the old Kingston Trio song with the lines: And she never returned, no she never returned & her fate is still unknown...... Yes, I am. Let's see how much of it I can reconstruct. Charlie got on at the Kendall Square station, headed south for Jamaica Plain. When he got there, the conductor said "One more nickel." Charlie couldn't get off that train. Did he ever return? No he never returned, And his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever through the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned. Charlie's wife goes down to the Kendall Square station Every day at half past two She waits there and hands him a sandwich, As the train goes rattling through. Did he ever return? No he never returned, And his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever through the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned. Oh, you citizens of Boston: Don't you think that it's a scandal That the people have to pay and pay. So fight the fare increase and vote for O'Malley To get Charlie off the MTA! Did he ever return? No he never returned, And his fate is still unlearned. He may ride forever through the streets of Boston. He's the man who never returned.
