| - | |
| Stork I am justly wroth | B |
| For thou hast wronged me sore | C |
| The ash roof tree that shelters thee | B |
| Shall shelter thee no more | C |
| - | |
| STORK | D |
| - | |
| Full fifty years I 've dwelt | E |
| Upon this honest tree | B |
| And long ago as people know | F |
| I brought thy father thee | B |
| What hail hath chilled thy heart | G |
| That thou shouldst bid me go | F |
| Speak out I pray then I 'll away | H |
| Since thou commandest so | F |

| COBBLER | A |
| - | |
| Thou tellest of the time | I |
| When wheeling from the west | J |
| This hut thou sought'st and one thou brought'st | K |
| Unto a mother's breast | J |
| I was the wretched child | L |
| Was fetched that dismal morn | M |
| 'T were better die than be as I | N |
| To life of misery born | M |
| And hadst thou borne me on | O |
| Still farther up the town | P |
| A king I 'd be of high degree | B |
| And wear a golden crown | P |
| For yonder lives the prince | Q |
| Was brought that selfsame day | H |
| How happy he while look at me | B |
| I toil my life away | H |
| And see my little boy | R |
| To what estate he 's born | M |
| Why when I die no hoard leave I | N |
| But poverty and scorn | M |
| And thou hast done it all | S |
| I might have been a king | T |
| And ruled in state but for thy hate | U |
| Thou base perfidious thing | T |
| - | |
| STORK | D |
| - | |
| Since cobbler thou dost speak | V |
| Of one thou lovest well | W |
| Hear of that king what grievous thing | T |
| This very morn befell | W |
| Whilst round thy homely bench | X |
| Thy well belov d played | Y |
| In yonder hall beneath a pall | Z |
| A little one was laid | Y |
| Thy well belov d's face | A2 |
| Was rosy with delight | B2 |
| But 'neath that pall in yonder hall | S |
| The little face is white | B2 |
| Whilst by a merry voice | C2 |
| Thy soul is filled with cheer | D2 |
| Another weeps for one that sleeps | E2 |
| All mute and cold anear | D2 |
| One father hath his hope | F2 |
| And one is childless now | G2 |
| He wears a crown and rules a town | P |
| Only a cobbler thou | G2 |
| Wouldst thou exchange thy lot | H2 |
| At price of such a woe | F |
| I'll nest no more above thy door | D2 |
| But as thou bidst me go | F |
| - | |
| COBBLER | D2 |
| - | |
| Nay stork thou shalt remain | I2 |
| I mean not what I said | J2 |
| Good neighbors we must always be | B |
| So make thy home o'erhead | J2 |
| I would not change my bench | X |
| For any monarch's throne | K2 |
| Nor sacrifice at any price | L2 |
| My darling and my own | K2 |
| Stork on my roof tree bide | J2 |
| That seeing thee anear | D2 |
| I 'll thankful be God sent by thee | B |
| Me and my darling here | D2 |
