[Verse]
AOh says Red Molly to James That’s a fine motorDbike
DA girl could feel special on any such lAike
ASays James to Red Molly My hats off to yDou
DIt’s a Vincent Black Lightning 19A52
AAnd Ive sEeen you at the corners and cDafes it sAeems
ERed hair and black leather my fDavorite colour sAcheme
AAnd he pBmulled her on behDind and down to Boxhill they did Aride
[Verse]
AOh says James to Red Molly Heres a ring for your right Dhand
DBut I’ll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous Aman
AFor I’ve fought with the law since I was sDeventeen
DI robbed many a man to get my Vincent mAachine
ANow I’m E21 years I Dmight make A22
EAnd I don’t mind dying, but fDor the love of yAou
AAnd if fBmate should break my Dstride
Then I’ll give you my Vincent to Aride
[Verse]
ACome down, come down Red Molly called Sergeant MDcRae
DFor they’ve taken young James Adie for armed rAobbery
AShotgun blast hit his chest left nothing iDnside.
DOh come down Red Molly to his dying bAedside
AWhen she cEame to the hospital, there wDasn’t much lAeft
EHe was running out of road, he was rDunning out of bAreath
ABut he sBmmiled to see her cDry
He said I’ll give you my Vincent to Aride
[Verse]
ASays James In my opinion, there’s nothing in this Dworld
DBeats a 52 Vincent and a red headed Agirl
ANow Nortons and Indians and Beeza's won’t Ddo
DAh they don’t have a soul like a Vincent A52
AOh he rEeached for her hand and he sDlipped her the Akeys
ESaid I’ve got no fDurther use for tAhese.
AI see aEngels on Ariels in lDeather and cAhrome,
ESwooping down from heaven to cDarry me Ahome
AAnd he gBmave her one last kiss and dDied
And he gave her his Vincent to rAide.
