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