We chased lady luck 'til we finally struck Bonanza!
With a gun and a rope and a hatful of hope, we planted our family tree
We got a hold of a pot full of gold-Bonanza!
With a horse and a saddle and a rakeful of cattle,
How rich could a fella be?

On this land, we put our brand, Cartwright is the name
Fortune smiled the day we filed the Ponderosa claim

Here in the West, we're living in the best Bonanza!
If anyone fights any one of us- he's gonna fight with me
Hoss and Joe and Adam know every rock and pine
No one works, fights or eats, like those boys of mine

Here we stand in the middle of a grand Bonanza!
With a gun and a rope and hatful of hope we planted our family tree
We got a hold of a potful of gold- Bonanza!
With a houseful of friends where the rainbow ends, how rich could a fella be?

On this land, we put our brand ,
Cartwright is the name
Fortune smiled the day we filed
The Ponderosa claim

Here in the west we're living in the best Bonanza!
With the friendliest sprite and the stubbornest man
that ever set foot in the promised land
And we're happier than them all
That's why we call it Bonanza!!!

*sigh* enjoying pics from the Ponderosa and so sad it is closed....
