• David Howard : Why do the Spaniards call us Americans: gringos?

  Dona Dolores Delfino : Why, my Uncle told me it started at the time the American Army was in Mexico. Your soldiers used to sing a song that went, "The gringos over the hill."

  David Howard : "The gringos over?" "Gringos?" Of course, green goes!

  Dona Dolores Delfino : You know that song?

  David Howard : Why, yes. It applied to the color of the flag they carried.

  [singing] 

  David Howard : When the green goes over the hill, my boys, The green goes over the hill. The hill maybe high, And its do it or die, But, the green goes over the hill."
