Send Red Molly to Jane, that's a [F] fine motorbike.
A girl could feel special on any [C] such flight.
Send Jane to Red Molly, my hat's [F] off to you.
It's a Vincent Black Lightning [C] 1952.
[G] And I've seen you at the corners [F] and [C] cafes it seems.
[G] Red hair and black leather, [F] my favorite [C] color scheme.
[Dm] And ain't [F] gonna
And down to Knoxville they [C] did ride.
Now I have to tell ya, I changed that line in that song.
I forget what was in it before, it was a town in England.
Knoxville, Ron said, you remember that town?
Somewhere in England, I'd never been there.
Now where were we at in this song anyway?
Send Jane to Red Molly, my hat's [F] off to you.
It's a Vincent Black Lightning [C]
1952.
And [G] I've seen you at the corners and [F] [C] cafes it seems.
[G] Red hair and black leather, [F] my favorite [C] color scheme.
[F] And he pulled her on by the hand.
And down to Knoxville [C] they did ride.
Now I gotta get another line for this song.
Send Jane to Red Molly, here's a ring for your [F] right hand.
But I'll tell you in earnest, I'm an anxious [C]
man.
[G]
[C] Since I [F] was seventeen, I robbed many a man to get [G] my Vincent [C] machine.
[G] Now I'm twenty-one [F] years to my big [C] twenty-two.
And [G] I don't mind dying [F] for the [C] love of you.
[Gm] And [Dm] if they treat me best [F] right,
Then I'll give you my Vincent [C] to ride on.

Come down, come down, Red Molly.
Called [F] Sergeant McCray.
But they've taken young James Eighty for armed [C]
robbery.
Shots [Cm] and blasts, he said, left [F] nothing inside.
Come down, Red Molly, tell your dying [C] bedside.
[G] She came to the hospital, there [F] [C] wasn't much left.
[G] He was running out of [F] rope, he was running out [C] of breath.
[Gm] But he smiled, [F] she cried.
He said, I'll give you my Vincent [C] to ride.
Said, James, in my opinion, there's nothing [F] in this world
beats a fifty-two [Dm] Vincent and a [C] red-headed girl.
Now Norton's and Indian's and Grieve's [F] is haunted.
They don't have a soul like a Vincent [C] fifty-two.
[G] And he reached for her [F] hand and he slipped [C] her the keys.
[G] Said, I don't have any [F] further use [C] for [G] these.
I see angels on aerials [F] in [C] leather and chrome.
[G] Drooping down from heaven [F] to carry [C] me home.
And [Dm] he gave her one last kiss [F] and died.
And he gave her his Vincent [C] to ride.
