Children Go Where I Send Thee
Little children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?
I'm gonna send you one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?
I'm gonna send you two by two
Two for the Paul and-a Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
I'm gonna send you three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for the Paul and-a Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?
I'm gonna send you four by four
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for the Paul and-a Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
(Oh, go where I send thee)
(How should I send thee?)
I'm gonna send you five by five
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children

Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?

Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed

One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?
I'm gonna send you eight by eight
Eight for the hate that stood at the gate
Seven for seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and-a Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Born of the Virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
How should I send thee?
And that's how the whole thing started
Way down in the manger
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
