I am to cross the desert wide,
To find the precious treasure;
To settle by the Ocean's tide
And dig when I'm at leisure.
A sister I at home will leave;
A brother 'til he is older.
If there's no other way to go
I'll enter as a soldier.
A father I will have to guide me,
As I travel through by land,
And the host of friends I'll have beside me
Will form our little band.
Nothing more I have to say,
Only may good luck attend you;
And should you ever come to Monterey
With our laws will we defend you.
