    Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike,
  • C G
    A girl could feel special on any such like

  • Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you
    C G
    It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
  • G D C G
    And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems

    And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
  •  
    Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
    But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
  • I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
    I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
    Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
  • And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
    And If fate should break my stride
    I'll give you my Vincent to ride
  •  
    Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
    For they've taken young James adie for armed robbery
  • Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
    Come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside
    When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
  • He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
    But he smiled to see her cry
    Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
  •  
    Said young James. in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
    Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
  • Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
    They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
    He reached for her hand and he gave her the keys
  • He said I don't have any further use for these
    I see angels and ariels in leather and chrome
    Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
  • He gave her one last kiss and died
    And he gave her his Vincent to ride.
