Thread Name: Ice Harvesting Songs?
Subject: RE: Ice Harvesting Songs?
there's one to the tune "No Irish Need Apply"

Chorus: Hudson River Diamonds are the finest in the land,
Hudson River diamonds you can pick up all you can.
And when you've got your load filled up and headed for the shore,
You'll hear the foreman calling out."Go back and pick some more"

Of course Hudson River diamonds are the frozen kind thanks to the horses working the ice. They didn't want them in the ice houses you can be sure.
