1952 Vincent Black Lightning Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike 

A girl could feel special on any such like 

Said James to Red Molly, my hat's off to you 

It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952 

And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems 

Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme 

And he pulled her on behind 

And down to Boxhill they did ride 

 

Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand 

But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man 

I've fought with the law since I was seventeen 

I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine 

Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22 

And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you 

And if fate should break my stride 

Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride 

 

Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae 

For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery 

 

Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside 

Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside 

When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left 

He was running out of road, he was running out of breath 

But he smiled to see her cry 

And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride

Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world 

Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl 

Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do 

They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52 

He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys 

He said I've got no further use for these 

I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome 

Swooping down from heaven to carry me home 

And he gave her one last kiss and died 

And he gave her his Vincent to ride
