It didn't happen in Montana, didn't happen in Havana
Didn't happen in Atlanta, G.A
It happened in Monterey
Long time ago, it happened to happen in Monterey Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and watch his lips as red as wine
Stole somebody's heart, and it was mine
It happened in Monterey without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart I met in Monterey
Way down upon the Rio Brandy
I met a little chick from the town of Bamona
She had a smile so ginger than this
That when I fell, I really fell
Do you recall the lady's name?
It was Ramona
It was Ramona
It happened in Monterey, a long time ago
It happened one day in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and watch his lips as red as wine
And then he stole somebody's heart and it was mine
I really had myself a time in Monterey
I can hardly wait 'til I'm back in Monterey
Because I got the urge to go South of the border even though
She broke my heart, it fell apart
But now I find she's on my mind
What can I do to follow through
And honor her with tattoo Monterey, Mexico?
