Billy Strange - Bonanza lyrics

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, bonanza
