Tischlerlied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schubert)
 See original
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
In 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 einen Sarg,
Und der wird gut bezahlt.

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