Robert McKenzie...

Paul Gross, l'interprète de Benton Fraser dans la série Un Tandem de Choc, a décidément tout pour plaire. En plus d'être un merveilleux acteur, il est aussi très beau... Le bougre est en plus  chanteur. Et un bon chanteur... Et il nous a gentiment fait profiter de son excellente voix (ainsi que de ses créations) dans la série pré-citée.  Ce que je vous propose aujourd'hui, c'est le clip qui va avec la chanson entendue au cours de l'épisode Les Allumés du Bounty (3x12 et 3x13).

PAUL GROSS - Robert McKenzie

Les paroles :

Robert Mackenzie
32 men on a Great Lakes boat
Quit the pier at Thunder Bay 28,000 tons of coal
On a cold November day
800 feet and 10 more long
80 feet across
The steel mills of Detroit
Our destination through the frost

At 2 AM on the 2nd
Waves were runnin' up to 40 feet
Winds were blowing 60 miles
Our engines crankin' heat
At 3:13 we took a wave Our wheelhouse left behind
The radar slipped beneath the waves
And we were runnin' blind
Hear me call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home some day

Refrain :
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie

A captain name of Phillips
Seekin' shelter from the storm
Turned us south of Bête Grise Bay
By way of Keewenaw point
But the wind was blowing at such a rate
We ended up driftin' north
A wave broke over a knife of rock
Six Fathom Shoal

Mackenzie she was cut in half
The stern she ram the baow
The men were calling metalljunk
Flames burned out of hell
Stern keept runnig on lights of blades
Not one man would be found
Captain's last transmission read
32 men down
32 men down

Hear me call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home someday

(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down

And they call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home someday

Yes, I call across the waves
If i don´t come home tonight
I will make it home some day
