| Lyrics: | These lyrics were only used in the pilot.
They were so bad that not only did they abandon
them,
But they stripped them off the pilot for reruns.
---
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 |
