Faron Young - Bonanza Lyrics

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)

The claim we hold is a good as gold bonanza
Hand in hand we built this land the Ponderosa ranch
Our birthright is this Cartwright bonanza
We here belong and standing strong wrong ain't got a chance.

Day by day work or play ready side by side
Hello friend come on in the gate is open wide
Bound to be a figtin' free bonanza
Singin' pines are boundary lines for the Ponderosa ranch.

--- Instrumental ---

Every tree and flower's part of our bonanza
The stars at night the morning light the water in the branch
We ride along four men strong together
Every plain and ridge is our heritage the Ponderosa ranch.

--- Instrumental ---

Day by day work or play ready side by side
Hello friend come on in the gate is open wide
Bound to be a figtin' free bonanza
Singin' pines are boundary lines for the Ponderosa ranch...
