It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952"
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
I see angels on Ariels, in leather and chrome
"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves's won't do
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
And he pulled her on behind
And if fate should break my stride
But he smiled to see her cry
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And down to Box Hill, they did ride
Ahh, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"
Oh, he reached for her hand then he slipped her the keys
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme
"Come down, come down, Red Molly," called Sergeant McRae
Says James to Red Molly, "My hat's off to you
He said, "I've got no further use for these
And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
Oh, says James to Red Molly, "Here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
Now I'm twenty-one years, I might make twenty-two
Says James, "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
