    As a little kid watching Bonanza, I always marveled that they could burn one of those historic maps at the start of the show each week.

    Wow. 65 years old and I'm still learning Thanks Johnny RIP
  • That was great johnny! I'm almost 70 today and started watching Bonanza as a kid. But I never knew the words to the song! Thanks for putting it to words Johnny! I'm glad you had such a long and productive life! You suffered for your art, that's what made it so good!!

    I think that is very possibly the only song that I have never heard Johnny Cash sing before. Thank you for this great video.

    Lorne Greene had a whole album out about the Ponderosa. He was a pretty good singer in his own right.

    Esto es oro puro! De muy niño veía las repeticiones de esta icónica serie. Me gustaba su trama y las aventuras de los Cartwright. Su tema instrumental me lo sabía de memoria. Pero jamás imaginé que tenía letra y que fue cantada por el inmortal Jonhhy Cash. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.

    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
