   Del McCoury Band was on there not too long ago and they did Richard   
   Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning which is a motorcycle song.  Didn't   
   catch the whole show.   
      
   Thanks,   
   Randy   
      
   Here's the lyrics...   
      
   Oh says Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike.   
   A girl could feel special on any such like"   
   Says James to Red Molly "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 favourite colour scheme"   
   And he pulled her on behind and down to Boxhill they did ride   
      
   Oh says James to Red Molly "Here's a ring for your right hand   
   But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man.   
   For 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   
   He 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 Greeves won't do,   
   Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52"   
   Oh he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys   
   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.
