@captkirkconnell I too heard this growing up in Arizona, but I think gringo actually come from the Spanish for for Greek, which had long been used to mean stranger or foreigner. I still like the Scottish myth better though.
My father intruduced me to Dougie when I was a little girl and Ive loved him ever since! I would love to find more of his music on here like his CD 'Real Estate' but there isnt much. Love you Dougie!
There is nothing more flattering to a musician (at least from my point of view as a Celtic artist) than to have the audience sing the chorus alongside you.
Dougie is a master of singing this kind of 'special' Celtic music. His simple and 'true' interpretations are beyond the norm. I rarely wear my hat (over the last 20 years) due to Dougie causing me to take it off to him....on so many occasions.....Cold head...so what? haha
Burns always had the right of it. and no one can give it back to us better than Dougie. he's a treasure to people in all corners of the globe, not just in Scotland.
absolutely love this song. It was the first song I ever heard Dougie play at the concert for Lockerbie waaaay back. Been hooked ever since. Thanks for the songs Dougie, you rock (in a Scottish folky kind of way!)
Lovely stuff!

Doon wi' Bobbie Burns. To be a freemason is to be a traitor to our God, and, derivatively, to our folk.
Anyhoo, I was lookin for the "I'll sin you 1, O!"

Some Scots were singing this in Mexico and since then Scottish looking people are known as "Gringos" in Mexico.

Here here my friend. A living genius, and we should cherish this guy while we have him here, because the world will be a sadder place when he's not.

Great song. I'm doing research for my 'Immortal Memory' and I came across this song. Makes me wish I'd studied more of Burns way before now!
