Geoduck & "Acres of Clams"

[Dodi Schultz]

Jim Landau asks,

  >> Isn't "Acres of Clams" a different set of words to a folk tune also
  >> called "Rosin the Beau"?

Yes.

The words to "Acres of Clams" (a/k/a "The Old Settlers' Song"), according
to Edith Fowke and Joe Glazer, were written by Judge Francis D. Henry.

The tune, from Ireland, was also used for the ballad "Men of the West" and,
in this country, for the rousing campaign song "Lincoln and Liberty Too."
