Said Red Molly to James That's a fine motorbike A girl could feel special on any Such Like
GCG
Says James to Red Molly My hat's off to You That's a Vincent Black Lightning 1952
DCGDCG
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems Red hair and black leather my favorite color scheme
AmCG
And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride
GCG
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
GCG
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
DCGDCG
Now I'm 21 years old I might not make 22 Don't mind dying but for the love of you
AmCG
And if fate should break my stride Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride
GCG
Come down come down Red Molly said Sergeant McRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
GCG
Shotgun blast to the chest left nothing inside Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedside
DCGDCG
When she got to the hospital there wasn't much left He was running out of road he was running out of breath
AmCG
But he smiled to see her cry Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
GCG
Said James In my opinion there's nothing in this world Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
GCG
No Nortons and Indians and Greeves's won't do They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
DCGDCG
And he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys Said I've got no further use of these
DCGDCG
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
AmCC
And he gave her one last kiss and died
CCG
And he gave her his Vincent to ride
