I can’t believe it took 100 posts to get to that song. But then I suspect only us old guys remember it.

This song chronicles one of the most heinous crimes in the history of Los Angeles--the kidnap and murder of Marian Parker, the daughter of a banker, in December, 1927. When the perpetrator was brought to justice, the singer, Vernon Dalhart, released a sequel, "The Hanging of the Fox" (1928).

I remember the artists, Jay and the Americans and some of the lyrics but do not remember the name of the song:

In a little café just South of the border;
She was sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water.....

Come a little bit closer,
You’re so big and so strong
and the night is so long.....

*then later on in the song:*

So I dropped my drink from my hand
And to the window I ran.
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to José,
Come a little bit closer
You’re so big and so strong
and the night is so long.

*Any help from the Peanut Gallery would be greatly appreciated! ;-)*
