about

A folk song of Irish origin, for which there is variety of lyrics, it was popular in the United States during the mid-19th century. It is considered the etymological source of "gringo" because of Mexicans mis-hearing American soldiers singing "green grow" during the Mexican American war. It appeared on stage in 1931 in a play by Lynn Riggs and was the source of the Broadway musical "Oklahoma" in 1943. Recordings were made over the years by Gordon MacRae, Harry Belafonte, the Chad Mitchell Trio, Bing Crosby with Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Cash and others.
