by Friedrich Güll (1812 - 1879)

Ein Postknecht will ich werden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Postknecht will ich werden
Mit Stiefel und mit Sporn,
Dann fahr' ich mit vier Pferden
Und hab' ein gold'nes Horn.

Dann kann ich traben und reiten,
Die Peitsche in der Hand.
Hinaus nach allen Seiten,
Hinein in alle Land'.
