Struggling with Bonanza? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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.

Johnny Cash Sings the Legendary 'Bonanza' Theme Song – Madly Odd!
Becoming one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Johnny Cash is best known as a country music icon, but his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly, rock and roll, blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to him being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
In an old black-and-white Opry show footage, Johnny Cash recorded the lyrics for the iconic TV series "Bonanza" theme song. The host discussed this as his second theme song performance with Johnny Cash. Johnny confirmed and, upon request, agreed to sing it for the audience. He then took up his acoustic guitar, standing on stage in his signature all-black outfit, accompanied by a band with bass, drums, guitar, and banjo.
Johnny's performance is marked by his rich, deep voice and a smile as he sings, "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." This rendition showcases his unique vocal talent.
In 1961, the song gained further recognition when Al Caiola and His Orchestra's instrumental version reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. 'Bonanza' spanned 14 seasons and 432 episodes, securing its place as the second-longest-running western series in U.S. TV history, just behind 'Gunsmoke.'
Besides 'Bonanza,' Johnny Cash also sang the TV theme for 'The Rebel,' which aired from 1959 to 1961 starring Nick Adams. He is renowned for his other hits, including 'Folsom Prison Blues,' 'I Walk the Line,' and 'Ring of Fire.'
'The Man in Black' combined his rugged country voice with one of the most popular shows of its time. His performance of the 'Bonanza' theme song is a lasting testament to the intersection of legendary television and legendary music.
