REDHEADS FOREVER

Richard Thomson - Vincent Black Lightning 1952. 

"Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike 
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 favorite color scheme 
And he pulled her on behind 
And down to Box Hill 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."
