[C] It's the [B] Del McCurry Band on WNCW.
Want to play another one?
Yeah, you know, [F] I was just talking to Dennis a while [E] ago,
and he [G] said, you know, [A] you get a lot of requests at this station
here for a [E] motorcycle song.
So maybe [A] we'll do that this morning.
It's entitled the 1952 Vincent,
and the short name [F] is the motorcycle song.

[C]
Said Red [F] Molly to [C] Jane
That's a fine [F] motorbike
A girl could feel special on any such [C] a life
Said James to Red Molly
My hat's off to [F] you
It's a Vincent, black,
[C] 1952
And I've seen [G] you at the corners
In [F] cafes and [C] seen you
Red [G] hair and black leather
[F] My favorite color scheme
[C] And he'd [D] pull her on [F] by the eye
And down to Knoxville
They did [C] ride
Said James to Red Molly
Here's a ring for your right [F]
hand
But I'll tell you in [C] earnest
I'm a dangerous man
I've fought with the law
Since I was [F]
seventeen
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent [C] machine
Now [Gm] I'm twenty-one years
I might [Am] make twenty [C]-two
And I don't [G] mind dying
But [F] for the love of [C] you
And if [Dm] fate should [F] break my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent [C] to ride

[Dm] [F]
[C]
Come down, come down, Red Molly
Call Sergeant [F] McRae
They've taken young James eighty-four armed to [C] robbery
Shards and flares, skiddy -sheds
Left nothing in [F] sight
Come down, Red Molly, to his dying [C] bedside
When she [Gm] came to the hospital, there wasn't [C] much left
He was running [G] out of rope, [F] running out of [C] breath
But he [Dm] smiled to see her [F] cry
Said I'll give you my Vincent to [C] ride
Said James, in my opinion
There's nothing in [F] this world
Beats a fifty-two Vincent and a red-headed [C] girl
Now Nortons and Indians and Greasers won't [F] do
They don't have a [C] soul like a Vincent fifty -two
And [G] he reached for her hand and he [F] slipped her [C] the keys
Said [G] I don't have any further [F] use [C] for these
I see angels on aerials [F] in a leatheren crone
[G] Zooming down from heaven [F] to carry me [C] home
Then he [Dm] gave her one last kiss [F] and died
Then he gave her his Vincent [C] to ride
[D]
