Things I Know I Know

Upon further reasearch (by which I mean, I sort of actually listened to the words) it appears that in only one of the 'horses haul logs across a frozen pond and fall in' songs on the Great Big Sea album, The Hard and the Easy, does the horse actually die.

In 'Tickle Cove Pond' the horse was apparently saved by the timely singing of shanty tunes.

I know you are as relieved as I am.
