Said Red GMolly to James That's a fine motorCbike A girl could feel special on any Such GLike Says GJames to Red Molly My hat's off to YCou That's a Vincent Black Lightning 195G2 And I've Dseen you at the corners and cCafes it Gseems Red Dhair and black leather my Cfavorite color Gscheme And he Ampulled her on bCehind and down to Boxhill they did Gride
Said GJames to Red Molly Here's a ring for your right Chand But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous Gman For I've Gfought with the law since I was seventCeen I robbed many a man to get my Vincent macGhine Now I'm D21 years old I might not Cmake 2G2 DDon't mind dying but Cfor the love of yGou And if Amfate should break my sCtride Then I'll give you my Vincent to Gride
Come Gdown come down Red Molly said Sergeant McCRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbeGry Shotgun Gblast to the chest left nothing insCide Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedGside When she Dgot to the hospital there wCasn't much lGeft He was Drunning out of road he was Crunning out of bGreath But he sAmmiled to see her Ccry Said I'll give you my Vincent to Gride
Said GJames In my opinion there's nothing in this wCorld Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed Ggirl No GNortons and Indians and Greeves's won't Cdo They don't have a soul like a Vincent 5G2 And he Dreached for her hand and he sClipped her the Gkeys Said I've Dgot no furtherC use of Gthese I see Dangels on Ariels in Cleather and chGrome SDwooping down from heaven to Ccarry me Ghome And he Amgave her one last Ckiss and Cdied And he Cgave her his CVincent to Gride
