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 anyone 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 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 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 

Bonanza...Bonanza.. Bonanza..
