Children, go where I send thee. How shall I send thee? Well, 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 thee. How shall I send thee? Well, 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 thee. How shall I send thee? Well,
now, 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 thee. How shall I send thee? Well, I'm
gonna send you six by six, well, six for the six that never got
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 was born,
born, born in Bethlehem.
Children, go where I send thee. How shall I send thee? Well, I'm
gonna send you eight by eight, eight for the eight that stood at
the gate,
Seven for the seven that never got to heaven and six for the six
that never got 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 was born,
born, born in Bethlehem.
Children, go where I send thee. How shall I send thee? Well,
now, I'm gonna send you ten by ten, ten for the ten
commandments,
Nine for the nine all dressed so fine, eight for the eight that
stood at the gate,
Seven for the seven who never got to heaven and six for the six
that never got 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 was born,
born, born in Bethlehem.
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
