Welcome to the Ponderosa my friends
For an evening of songs and stories
About the american west
A land of legend, of romance
Of friendship and loyauty and courage
...Remember us
A true "Bonanza"

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 !
