Lyrics Dropkick Murphys – Skinhead On The MBTA (Traditional)

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

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.

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 Scollay 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 it’s a scandal
How the skinhead stole the train
What’s the big fuckin’ deal,
he’ll work for beer
Let skinhead drive that fuckin’ train.

chorus 2x

He’s the skinhead who never returned.
He’s the skinhead who never returned.
I said the skin never returns.

chorus 2x

He’s the skinhead who never returned.
He’s the skinhead who never returned.
