Michael McDonald - Children Go Where I Send Thee lyrics

(Traditional - Arranged By McDonald/Harris)

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

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

That was 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

Three for the little bitty baby

Four for the hebrew children

Five for the gospel preachers

That was 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

Four for the four that stood at the door

Five for the gospel preachers

Six for the six that never got fixed

Seven for the seven that never got to heaven

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate

Nine for the nine all dressed so fine

Ten for the ten commandments

Eleven for the eleven riders
