Does anyone know about the '50's recording he is referring to? For context?

Tex Ritter--The Deck Of Cards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsCiaxPhtVY

For Murilo: Tex Ritter-- green grow the lilacs

It is rumored that those from south of the border called American's 'Gringos' (green grows) because of this common campfire song sung by American Cowboys.

Wow!!!
Jim, you enriched my curriculum!
Life is constant learning...
Thanx a lot!
Absolutely, you are a gringo... but we still need to decide about your neck... 8)
BTW, down in my country, many guys use to call as gringos ALSO to all Spanish speaking Latin America neighbors!
A Colombian, good friend of mine was very happy and joking: 'Oh, good! Down in Sao Paulo I became a gringo! How nice!'
