Handwerksburschenlied
 (Sung text for setting by H. Marschner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du kehrst mir den Rücken
Mit schiefem Gesicht?
Sei ruhig, ich spring' in
Den Neckar drum nicht.
Geschnallt ist das Ränzel,
Der Stock ist zur Hand,
Die Welt ist gar helle,
Und offen das Land -
Ade!

Es glühn wohl viel Sterne
Am himmlischen Zelt,
Es ziehn wohl viel Straßen
An's Ende der Welt;
An jeglicher Straße 
Steht ein manniges Haus,
Schaut immer ein freundlich's
Paar Augen heraus -
Juhe4!
