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