>     Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
>     For they've taken in Sheldon at the end of his days
>     He called out for you on his long and final ride
>     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 reached for her hand, gave her his Allen keys
>     He said I've got no further use for these
>     I see angels on Brooks's in spandex and chrome
>     Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
>     And he gave her one last kiss and died
>     And he gave her his fixie to ride
