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

Day by day, work or play, ready side by side
D            G              D            A
Hello friend come on in the gate is open wide
D
Bound to be a figtin' free bonanza
A                                                  D
Singing pines are boundary lines for the Ponderosa Ranch

Every tree and flower is part of our bonanza
    A                                             D
The stars at night the morning light water in the branch

  We ride along four men strong together
      D                                             G          
Every plain and ridge is our heritage the Ponderosa Ranch

Hello friend come on in the gate is open wide
