Artist/Band: Reckless Kelly Tabs 
Song: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning Tab 
Capo 3	     
A                                         D 	  	 
Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike,
D                                     A 	  	 
A girl could feel special on any such like
A                                             D 	  	 
Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you
D                                  A 	  	 
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952 	  	         
A         E                           D          A 	  	 
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems 	 
E    	  	                D               A
Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme 	 
A      Bm              D                                 A 	  	 
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 Sergeant McRae 	  	 
For they've taken young James adie for armed robbery 	  	 
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside 	  	 
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 	  	 
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 and 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
