I'd never heard it before but as long as Johnny is singing it, I'll keep listening.
Wonderful song.

Heard this long ago on TV show or movie. Too long ago to remember which. I seem to think Fess Parker was in it. Loved it. Thanks!

Good song! Goes back many years. Singer Tex Ritter recorded it, and he explained one time how the song, sung by American soldiers during the war with Mexico,the Mexican prisoners would hear the song, and what they remembered when they returned to Mexico, was "Greengo" the lilacs. Supposedly, this is when they started calling Americans "Greengos"
