Verse/Chorus, repeat as many times as you like.

Some people may know this song well enough for a sing along.

A campaign song from an unsuccessful Progressive Party campaign for Mayor of Boston. Later a hit record by the Kingston Trio.

The most famous song ever to mention Kendall Square, Jamaica Plain, and Scollay Square in its lyrics. Charlie is the namesake of the modern-day MBTA fare system. His fate is still unlearned.

Did he ever return?
No, he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston.
He's the man who never returned.
