Lyrics

- trad' - j. steiner, b. hawes - murphys' version - casey, barton -

Now let me tell you a story of a big ole' skinhead on a tragic and fateful day
He put 10 cents in his pocket kissed his wife and family and went to ride on
The m.b.t.a

Chorus: did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unknown
He may ride forever neath the streets of boston he's a skinhead who never
Returned

Skinhead goes down to the kendall sq. station and he changes for jamaica plain
The conductor says skinhead I need a nickel, skinhead (punches him in the
Brain) or (throws him right off the train

Chorus:

Now all night long skinhead drives through the station wondering who can I go
And see can't afford to buy crack in chelsea or a bundle in roxbury

Chorus:

Skinhead's wife goes to the scully square station everyday at quarter past two
And through the open window she hands skinhead a grenade as the train comes a
Rumbling through

Chorus:

Now you citizens of boston don't you think its a scandal how the skinhead stole
The train what's the big fuckin' deal, he'll work for beer let the skinhead
Drive the train

Chorus:2x

He's the skinhead who never returns 2x
