"Green grow the LAURELS..." is what I was taught in singing classes over here in Finland some 30 years ago.
I remember having been told the story behind "gringo" and that is why I searched for this song - to send a link to it to an Argentine chat friend to whom I in return have told the story.
US troops who brought this song to Mexico never saw a Mexican flag before the war. They sang Lilacs.

No. I like this version better.

Thanks. I appreciate the history lesson.
I think the Civil War version (lilacs) is better, though.
