Je score:
A girl could feel special on any such like Said James to Red Molly, Well 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 I'll give you my Vincent to ride Come down, come down, Red Molly Called Seargeant McRae For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery Shotgun blast hit his chest Left nothing inside coome 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 Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride Said young James, in my opinion, There's nothing in this world Beats a '52 Vincent and a red-headed girl Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do They don't have a soul like a Vincent '52 He reached for her hand and he gave her the keys He said I don't have any further use for these I see angels on ariels in leather and chrome Swooping down from heaven to carry me home He gave her one last kiss and died And he gave her his Vincent to ride -------------------------------------------------
