I think it's, "Et tu, charlie?" Additionally: does he say, "Vote for Charlie O'Brien, get poor Georgie off the MTA"? Listen closely... it's supposed to be the other way around.

Never heard of poetic license? Don't be so rational when you listen to music!

Actually, it was for Walter A. O'Brien (whose name was originally in the song). A rumor spread that he was a Communist, ruining at least one folk singer who revived the song. The Kingston Trio changed the name to avoid trouble.

Great musical ... ( 8 months ago by HickysBoy)

Great musical entertainment. Lots of sound from three guys, two guitars and a banjo. Real music - lyrics, melody, harmony and rhythm. None of those but rhythm left these days.

This is one of the best "folk" groups ever. I used to have all their albums and 45's. I still remember how crazy my friends and I were over them.

haha...seriously...you have to do this when you get off the red line at Quincy Center and some other places.
If they increase the fare for the MBTA one more time I will scream (and try to organize a protest...and probably fail).
