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.
