We chased lady luck, 'til we finally struck, Bonanza
With a gun and a rope and a hat full 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 ring full of cattle
How rich can a fellow 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 livin' in the best, Bonanza
If anyone fights any one of us, he's got a fight with me
Bonanza
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 a hat ful of hope
we planted our family tree
We got a hold of a pot ful of gold, Bonanza
With a house ful of friends where the rainbow ends
How rich can a fellow 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, fightingist, lovingist band
that ever set foot in the promised land
and we're happier than them all
That's why we call it
