Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Hooooooooooooooooooooooo
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee five by five
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee six by six
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee seven by seven
Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee eight by eight
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send thee
Hooooooooooooooooooooooo
That's how the whole thing started
Way down in the manger
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
