Jay Livingstone and Ray Evans, as performed by Johnny Cash
The claim we hold is good as gold, Bonanza
Hand in hand we built this land, the Ponderosa Ranch
Our birthright is this Cartwright, Bonanza!
We heard the long and standin' strong, wrong ain't got a chance
Day by day, work or play, many side by side
Hello friend, come on in, the gate is open wide
Bound to be a fightin' free Bonanza
Singin' times and boundary lines, for the Ponderosa Ranch
Every tree and flower is part of our Bonanza
The stars at night, the morning light, and water in the branch
We ride along, four men strong, together
Every plain and ridge is our heritage, the Ponderosa Ranch
Day by day, work or play, many side by side
Hello friend, come on in, the gate is open wide
Bound to be a fightin' free Bonanza
Singin' times and boundary lines, for the Ponderosa Ranch
