It's a VFincent Black Lightning 1952C"

"And I've Gseen you at the corners and cFafes it sCeems
GRed hair and black leather, my Ffavorite color Cscheme"
And he pDmulled her on beFhind
And Fdown to Knoxville they did Cride
[Verse 2]
Said JCames to Red Molly, "Here's a ring for your right Fhand
But FI'll tell you in earnest, I'm a dangerous Cman

"Come Cdown, come down, Red Molly", called Sergeant MFcRae

Shotgun bClast hit his chest, left nothing iFnside
Come Fdown, Red Molly to his dying bedsCide"
[Refrain 3]
When she cGame to the hospital, there Fwasn't much lCeft
He was rGunning out of road, he was Frunning out of bCreath
But he Dmsmiled to see her cFry F
Said, "I'll Fgive you my Vincent to Cride"
[Verse 4]
Said JCames, "In my opinion, there's nothing in this wForld
Beats a F52 Vincent and a red headed giCrl
Now CNortons and Indians and Greeves just won't dFo
Ah, they dFon't have a soul like a Vincent 5C2"
[Refrain 4]
He rGeached for her hand and he sFlipped her the kCeys
Said he dGon't have any further uFse for tChese
I see aGngels on Ariel's in leaFther and chrCome
GSwooping down from heaven to cFarry me hoGme
[Outro]
And he Dmgave her one last kiss and Fdied F
And he gave her his Vincent to rCide
