Said Red GMolly to James That's a fine motorCbike A girl could feel special on any Such GLike
Says GJames to Red Molly My hat's off to YCou That's a Vincent Black Lightning 195G2
And I've Dseen you at the corners and cCafes it Gseems Red Dhair and black leather my Cfavorite color Gscheme
And he Ampulled her on bCehind and down to Boxhill they did Gride
Said GJames to Red Molly Here's a ring for your right Chand But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous Gman
For I've Gfought with the law since I was seventCeen I robbed many a man to get my Vincent macGhine
Now I'm D21 years old I might not Cmake 2G2 DDon't mind dying but Cfor the love of yGou
And if Amfate should break my sCtride Then I'll give you my Vincent to Gride
Come Gdown come down Red Molly said Sergeant McCRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbeGry
Shotgun Gblast to the chest left nothing insCide Oh come down Red Molly to his dying bedGside
When she Dgot to the hospital there wCasn't much lGeft He was Drunning out of road he was Crunning out of bGreath
But he sAmmiled to see her Ccry Said I'll give you my Vincent to Gride
Said GJames In my opinion there's nothing in this wCorld Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed Ggirl
No GNortons and Indians and Greeves's won't Cdo They don't have a soul like a Vincent 5G2
And he Dreached for her hand and he sClipped her the Gkeys Said I've Dgot no further Cuse of Gthese
I see Dangels on Ariels in Cleather and chGrome SDwooping down from heaven to Ccarry me Ghome
And he Amgave her one last Ckiss and Cdied
And he Cgave her his CVincent to Gride
