lyrics

HIT THE BLUE

Wanna tell a little tale
Tiny story from the sea
About a boy, a roving blade
Called Johnny

Whisky Johnny was his name
The coolest cat I’ve ever seen
He had a smile upon his face
So jolly

He was poaching on a dream
He was dreaming of a love
Of a love under the breeze
Roll and go !

“Hit the blue
Never look back
Take a ride beyond the tide !
Hit the blue
The whale is mine !”
Said Johnny before he died

“Give you silver, give you gold
A solace in your solitude
If you leave my whale alone ! ”
Said Johnny

“‘Pity upon me, my Lord
Take me home under the sea
I offer you my drowning song
Let it be !”

He was poaching on a dream
He was dreaming of a love
Of a love under the breeze
Roll and go !

Over the sea
Over the land of the free
The whalermen are singin’ to me
The story of Whisky Johnny

about

Egon Kragel Paris, France

Auteur-compositeur-interprète, il se définit comme "un chanteur en kilt". D'une voix profonde, il chante à la fois les sortilèges de l'enfance, les marins, les amours noyées d'ombre. Parce qu'il aime le dépaysement, il vous convie à ses voyages. Normal, le kilt est écossais et la guitare andalouse.

Singer, songwriter and composer, he reveals about himself : "I'm a kilted troubadour."
