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
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
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
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 got a fight with me
Bonanza
