1952 Vincent Black Lightning Richard Thompson
Oh says Red Moll[A]y to James That's a fine motorbike[D]
[D]A girl could feel special on any such l[A]ike
[A]Says James to Red Molly My hats off to y[D]ou
[D]It's a Vincent Black Lightning 19[A]52
[A]And Ive s[E]een you at the corners and c[D]afes it s[A]eems
[E]Red hair and black leather my f[D]avorite colour s[A]cheme
[A]And he p[Bm]ulled her on beh[D]ind and down to Boxhill they did [A]ride
[A]Oh says James to Red Molly Heres a ring for your right [D]hand
[D]But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous [A]man
[A]For I've fought with the law since I was s[D]eventeen
[D]I robbed many a man to get my Vincent m[A]achine
[A]Now I'm [E]21 years I [D]might make [A]22
[E]And I don't mind dying, but f[D]or the love of y[A]ou
[A]And if f[Bm]ate should break my [D]stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to [A]ride
[A]Come down, come down Red Molly called Sergeant M[D]cRae
[D]For they've taken young James Adie for armed r[A]obbery
[A]Shotgun blast hit his chest left nothing i[D]nside.
[D]Oh come down Red Molly to his dying b[A]edside
[A]When she c[E]ame to the hospital, there w[D]asn't much l[A]eft
[E]He was running out of road, he was r[D]unning out of b[A]reath
[A]But he s[Bm]miled to see her c[D]ry
He said I'll give you my Vincent to [A]ride
[A]Says James In my opinion, there's nothing in this [D]world
[D]Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed [A]girl
[A]Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't [D]do
[D]Ah they don't have a soul like a Vincent [A]52
[A]Oh he r[E]eached for her hand and he s[D]lipped her the [A]keys
[E]Said I've got no f[D]urther use for t[A]hese.
[A]I see a[E]ngels on Ariels in l[D]eather and c[A]hrome,
[E]Swooping down from heaven to c[D]arry me [A]home
[A]And he g[Bm]ave her one last kiss and d[D]ied
And he gave her his Vincent to r[A]ide.
