Lookin' down the coast I can't see the end Rain coming down Tide rolling in And lookin' down the coast I see the rugged headlands Rising from the sea at land's end And through the eyes of the California condor there Hasn't got a care And sittin' at Nepenthe looking down at the coast Partington Cove where eagles coast And just off the rocks, floatin' out in the bay Sea otters play in the cool ocean spray The California gray whales playin' there Haven't got a care This must be Monterey I see firelights round the bay The indians live this way I must go ashore and find out if this soil is good enough to till We'll take our treasures, trinkets too Go ashore and inland too The King wants it that way We can rule the seas and spread the word of God to every heathen land For one long year we've been to sea I miss my wife and family My mistress is the sea Oh it's been so long since I have had a woman's breast to lay my head on And lookin' down the Little Sur from Hurricane Point Clouds blowin' by, where eagles fly And flowin' so hard, waves turnin' white Blowin' all day and blowin' all night And through the eyes of the hawk you can see it there Mountain lions lair And heading for the Big Sur Valley at last Racing fast across lighthouse flats And just at the rock there came such a sight The lighthouse keeper's house, a lighthouse light The California grizzly once was there Does anybody care? We'll fill our holds with native gold And then we'll save their heathen souls The Queen wants it that way
