Berman Jacqueline - Charley On The Mta слова песни

COMMENTS: Written by Jacqueline Berman (now Steiner) and Bess Hawes as a campaign song for Walter F. O`Brian, the Communist Party candidate in Boston`s mayoral election. When Will Holt recorded the number as a pop song for Coral, the record company was astounded by a deluge of protests from Boston because the song made a hero out of a local "radical". The record was hastily withdrawn an a new version recorded which eliminated O`Brien`s claim to musical fame. In the later Kingston Trio release, Walter F. was changed to George to avoid advertising Commies on the air.Let me tell you the story of a man named CharleyOn a tragic and fateful dayHe put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and familyWent to ride on the MTACHORUS: Did he ever return? No, he never returned, And his fate is still unlearn`d. He may ride forever `neath the streets of Boston He`s the man who never returned.Charley handed in his dime at the Kendall Square StationAnd he changed for Jamaica PlainWhen he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel."Charley could not get off that train.Now all night long Charley rides through the tunnelsSaying, "What will become of me?How can I afford to see my sister in ChelseaOr my cousin in Roxbury?"Charley`s wife goes down to the Scollay Square stationEvery day at quarter past twoAnd through the open window she hands Charley a sandwichAs the train comes rumblin` through.Now you citizens of Boston, don`t you think it`s a scandalThat the people have to pay and payVote for George O`Brien and fight the fare increaseGet poor Charley off the MTACHORUS: Or else he`ll never return, no he`ll never return And his fate will be unlearned. He may ride forever `neath the streets of Boston. He`s the man (Who`s the man) He`s the man (Oh, the man) He`s the man who never returned.
