Title: 1952 VINCENT BLACK LIGHTNING (Richard Thompson)
1991
ASaid Red Molly to James that's a fine motorDbike,
DA girl could feel special on any such Alike
ASaid James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to Dyou
DIt's a Vincent Black Lightning, 195A2
AAnd I've Eseen you at the corners and Dcafes it Aseems
ERed hair and black leather, my Dfavourite colour Ascheme
AAnd he Bmpulled her on beDhind and down to Boxhill they did Aride
ASaid James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right Dhand
DBut I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous Aman
AI've fought with the law since I was sevenDteen
DI robbed many a man to get my Vincent macAhine
ENow I'm 21 years, I might Dmake 2A2
EAnd I don't mind dying, but Dfor the love of Ayou
AAnd If Bmfate should break my Dstride
DI'll give you my Vincent to Aride
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.
