Verse 2
Says (B flat major) James to Red Molly,
"Here's a ring for your right (E flat major) hand
But I'll tell you in earnest
I'm a dangerous man (B flat major)
For I've fought with the law
since I was seventeen (E flat major)
I robbed many a man
to get my Vincent ma (B flat major) chine
(F major) Now I'm twenty-one years,
I might (E flat major) make twenty- (B flat major) two
And I (F major) don't mind dying,
but (E flat major) for the love of (B flat major) you
And if (C minor) fate should break my (E flat major) stride
Interlude 1
Then I give you my Vincent to
(B flat major) (ride) (B flat major) (B flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major)
(E flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major)
Verse 3
"Come (B flat major) down, come down, Red Molly,"
called Sergeant Mc (E flat major) Rae
"For they've taken young James Adie
for armed robbery (B flat major)
Shotgun blast hit his chest,
left nothing in (E flat major) side
Oh, come down,
Red Molly to his dying bed (B flat major) side"
When she (F major) came to the hospital,
there (E flat major) wasn't much (B flat major) left
He was (F major) running out of road,
he was (E flat major) running out of (B flat major) breath
But he (C minor) smiled to see her (E flat major) cry
And said "I give you my Vincent to (B flat major) ride"
Verse 4
Says (B flat major) James, "In my opinion,
there's nothing in this (E flat major) world
Beats a '52 Vincent and a red-headed girl (B flat major)
Now Nortons and Indians
and Greeveses won't (E flat major) do
They don't have a soul like a Vincent '5 (B flat major) 2"
He (F major) reached for her hand
and he (E flat major) slipped her the keys (B flat major)
He said (F major) "I've got no further (E flat major) use for these (B flat major)
I see (F major) angels on Ariels in (E flat major) leather and (B flat major) chrome
(F major) Swooping down from heaven
to (E flat major) carry me home" (B flat major)
And he gave (C minor) her one last kiss and (E flat major) died
Outro 1
And he gave her his Vincent to
(B flat major) (ride) (B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major) (E flat major) (B flat major)
