The claim we hold is as 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 fightin' free bonanza   Singing pines of boundary lines for the Ponderosa Ranch      Every tree and flower is part of our bonanza   The stars at night, the morning light, water in the branch   We ride along four men strong together   Every plain and ridge is our heritage Ponderosa Ranch      Day by day, work or play, ready side by side   Hello friend, come on in, the gate is open wide   Bound to be a fightin' free bonanza   Singing pines of boundary lines for the Ponderosa Ranch
