Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee? <br><br>Well, I'm gonna send thee one by one<br>One for the little bitty baby<br>Who was born, born, born in bethlehem<br>Said he was born, born, born in bethlehem<br><br>Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee? <br><br>Hey, I'm gonna send thee two by two<br>Two for paul and silas<br>One for the itty bitty baby<br>Who was born, born, born in bethlehem.<br>Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee? <br><br>(*repeat, singing verses in descending order*)<br><br>I'm gonna send the:<br>Three by three, three for the hebrew children<br>Four by four, four for the four that stood at the door<br>Five by five, five for the five that stayed alive<br>Six by six, six for the six that never got fixed<br>Seven by seven, seven for the seven who never got to heav'n<br>Eight by eight, eight for the eight that stood at the gate<br>Nine by nine, nine for the nine that dressed so fine<br>Ten by ten, ten for the ten commandments<br><br>He was born, born, born in bethlehem.
