Clear Blue Flame Songtext
von Delta Moon

I′ve been hangin' with my Uncle Jack
Down in Cabbagetown, across the railroad track
Told him all about me and you
Said, "I love her, Jack, but what can I do?"

He said, "I don′t know about women
I don't know nothin' ′bout love
One thing in the whole wide world
You can be sure of
Malt whisky ain′t the same
Good moonshine burns with a clear blue flame"

I said, "Jack, I know you and Miss Ray
Been married forty years come Saturday
You know that's how I wanna do
But it looks like now me and her are through"


He said, "I don′t know about women
I don't know nothin′ 'bout love
One thing in the whole wide world
You can be sure of
Malt whisky ain′t the same
Good moonshine burns with a clear blue flame"

Now I ain't sayin' that my heart′s on fire
But I ain′t callin' Uncle Jack a liar
Something′s burnin' now and that′s a fact
I'll tell you what colour when I call you back

′Cause I don't know about women
I don't know nothin′ ′bout love
One thing in the whole wide world
You can be sure of
Malt whisky ain't the same
