Said Red Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike, make a girl could feel special on any such like
D G D
Said James to Red Molly, my hat's off to you, it's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
A G D A G D
And I've seen you on the corners and cafes it seems, red hair and black leather, my favorite color schemes
Em G D
Oh and he pulled her on behind, they went down to Boxhill they did ride
D G D
Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand, but I will tell you in honest I'm a dangerous man
D G D
Was I fought with the law since I was seventeen, I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
A G D A G D
And I turned 21, and I might make 22, but I don't mind dying if it's for the love of you
Em G D
Oh but if fate oh, should break my stride, I'm gonna give you my Vincent to ride

Well come down, come down, come down, says Sergeant McRae, well they've taken young James for armed robbery
D G D
Shotgun blast to his chest, left nothing inside, oh come down, come down to his dying bedside
A G D A G
When they brought him to the hospital there wasn't much left, he was running out of road, he was running out

of breath
Em G D
Oh but he smiled to see her cry, said gonna give you my Vincent...

Said James, to Red Molly, there ain't nothing in this world, beats a ‘52 Vincent and a red-headed girl.
D G D
Now Greeveses and Nortons and Indians won't do, well they don't have a soul like a Vincent ’52.
A G D A G D
Oh and he reached for her hand, and he gave her the keys, he said I don't have any further use for these
A G D A G D
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome, swooping down from heaven to carry, oh me home
Em G D
And he gave her one last kiss, oh then he died, said I'm a-gonna give(x7)... my Vincent to ride
