Gringo Is Guitar - Perry Como/The Anita Kerr Quartet

作词：Cindy Walker

作曲：Cindy Walker

Listen shh

Listen there it's playing again

Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire

Are sung by the haunted wind

Down in Nualo Laredo

On the border of ol' Mexico

There's a legend they tell of a cowboy

A tall Texas drover named Joe

But the Braseros just call him Gringo

The Gringo who played the guitar

To the Mexican girl that he loved so

'Neath the misty Mexico star

Listen shh

Listen there it's playing again

Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire

Are sung by the haunted wind

He sang of the day when they'd marry

When the round-up was over an' through

And great were the plans for their wedding

And for dreams they dreamed would come true

But he never came back from the round-up

A stampeding herd ran him down

But sometimes strange and beautiful music

Of a guitar is heard through the town

Listen shh

Listen there it's playing again

Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire

Are sung by the haunted wind
