Lyrics

The people came and listened
 Some of them came and played
 Others gave flowers away
 Religion was being born
 Down in Monterrey
 Young gods smiled upon the crowd
 Their music being born of love
 Children danced night and day
 Religion was being born
 Down in Monterrey
 Monterrey babe
 The Byrds and the Airplane
 Did fly
 Oh, Ravi Shankar's
 Music made me cry
 The Who exploded
 Into fired light (yeah)
 Hugh Masekelas music
 Was black as night
 The Grateful Dead
 Blew everybody's mind
 Jimi Hendrix, baby
 Believe me
 Set the world on fire, yeah!
 His majesty
 Prince Jones smiled as he
 Moved through the crowd
 Ten thousand electric guitars
 Were groovin' real loud, yeah
 If you wanna find the truth in life
 Don't pass music by
 And you know
 I would not lie
 No, I would not lie
 I would not lie
 I would not lie
 I would not lie
 Monterrey
 Alright!
 Three days of understanding
 Of moving with one another
 Even the cops grooved with us
 Do you believe me?
 Yeah!
 Down in Monterrey
 Down in Monterrey, yeah
 Down in Monterrey
 Down in Monterrey, yeah
 I think that maybe I'm dreamin'!
 Monterrey!
 Monterrey-yeah!
 Down in Monterrey
 Did you hear what I said?
 Down in Monterrey
 That some music
 Monterrey
 I said
 Monterrey, Monterrey, Monterrey
 Yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey
 A-ay, a-ay, a-ay-a-ay
