CAPO 3, Key of Ab
GSaid Red Molly to James that's a fine motorCbike,
CA girl could feel special on any such Glike
GSaid James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to Cyou
CIt's a Vincent Black Lightning, 195G2
GAnd I've Dseen you at the corners and Ccafes it Gseems
DRed hair and black leather, my Cfavourite colour Gscheme
GAnd he Ampulled herAm/B on beChind
Cand down to Boxhill they did Gride
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 MacRae
For they've taken young James 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 thisworld
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
DI see angels and ariels in Cleather and Gchrome
DSwooping down from heaven to Ccarry me hGome
GHe gaveAm her one lAm/Bast kiCss and died
CAnd he gave her his Vincent to Gride.
