Lorne Greene - Bonanza lyrics

We chased lady luck till we finally struck - Bonanza With a gun and a rope and a hatful of hope We planted our family tree We got ahold of a potful of gold - Bonanza With a horse and a saddle and a rig full of cattle How rich can a fella 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 gonna fight with me 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 ahold of a potful of gold - Bonanza With a houseful of friends where the rainbow ends How rich can a fella 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 With the friendliest, fightenist, lovingest 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 - Bonanza ist ein englisches Wort spanischen Ursprungs für „Ergiebige Goldgrube" Die fiktive Ranch heißt Ponderosa, benannt nach den dort wachsenden Ponderosa-Pines (dt.: Gelb-Kiefer)
