Dum-da-da-dum-da, dum-da-da-dum-da, Bonanza!

Yes, I'm that bored, I'm still trying to think of songs that you never hear the words to (see last post). One that we all know when we hear it is the theme from the TV show Bonanza, but only the music and not the lyrics. There are three versions: the official version below, the version used in the pilot episode, and (scary) a version that Lorne Greene recorded (which, oddly enough, never made the Top Ten). As far as I know, they did not change “four” to “three” when Adam (Pernell Roberts) graduated from medical school, moved to the big city, and changed his name to Trapper John.

We got a right to pick a little fight ... Bonanza!
If anyone fights anyone of us, he's gotta fight with me!

We're not a one to saddle up and run ... Bonanza!
Anyone of us who starts a little fuss, knows he can count on me!

One for four
Four for one,
This we guarantee.

We got a right to pick a little fight ... Bonanza!
If anyone fights anyone of us, he's gotta fight with me!
