Tischlerlied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Mein Handwerk geht durch alle Welt,
Und bringt mir manchen Thaler Geld.
Deß bin ich hoch vergnügt.
Den Tischler braucht ein jeder Stand:
Schon wird das Kind durch meine Hand
[Im]1 sanften Schlaf gewiegt.

Das Bette zu der Hochzeitnacht
Wird auch durch meinen Fleiß gemacht,
Und künstlich angemahlt.
Ein Geizhals sei auch noch so karg,
Er braucht [am Ende]2 einen Sarg,
Und der wird gut bezahlt.

Drum hab' ich immer frohen Muth,
Und mache meine Arbeit gut,
[Es sei Tisch oder]3 Schrank.
Und wer bei mir [brav]4 viel bestellt,
Und zahlt mir immer baares Geld,
Dem sag' ich großen Dank.
