avramI picked up Action Packed: The Best of the Capitol Years, by Richard Thompson, at Virgin today.
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’ve robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine.
And now I’m twenty-one years, I might make twenty-two.
And I don’t mind dyin’ but for the love of you.
But if fate should break my stride, then I’ll give you my Vincent, To Ride.”
