"Children Go Where I Send Thee"
(Traditional)

Children, go where I send you
Children, go where I send you;
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you one by one
One for the little bitty baby was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you;
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you 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 was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you
Children, go where I send you
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you five by five
Five for the five that came back alive
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 was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you six by six
Six for the six that couldn't get a fix
Five for the five that came back alive
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 was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children, go where I send you;
How shall I send you?

I'm gonna send you seven by seven
Seven for the seven that went up to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get a fix
Five for the five that came back alive
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 was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send you

I'm gonna send you eight by eight
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that went up to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get a fix
Five for the five that came back alive
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 was born, born, born in Bethlehem

He was born, born, born in Bethlehem
He was born, born in Bethlehem
