Subject: RE: Folklore: Origins of 'Happy As A Clam'
For those interested in "The Old Settler," or "Acres of Clams," see DT and thread 3507 for this old song (pub. 1902) by Francis D. Henry.
Original Sheet music and text in Lingenfelter and Dwyer, 1968, "Songs of the American West," pp. 554-556. The text in the DT is correct, but Henry is not credited.
