205. Children go where I send thee

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, 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, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?
I’m gonna send thee sev’n by sev’n,
Sev’n for the sev’n that went to heav’n,
Six, six, 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 born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?
I’m gonna send thee ten by ten,
Ten for the ten commandments,
Nine for the nine who dress so fine,
Eight, eight stood at the gate,
Sev’n for the sev’n that went to heav’n,
Six, six, 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 born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem,
Born, born, born in Bethlehem. Yeah!
