Lyrics - German
(Folk song)
Ich fahr‘, ich fahr‘, ich fahr‘ mit der Post,
(repeat)
fahr‘ mit der Schneckenpost,
die mir kein Kreuzer kost,
Ich fahr‘, ich fahr‘, ich fahr‘ mit der Post.
English Translation - I'm going with the mail
I’m going, I’m going, I’m going with the mail,
(repeat)
I’m going with the snail mail,
which doesn’t cost me a penny,
I’m going, I’m going, I’m going with the mail.
