Bonanza - The Country Music Heroes

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

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.
