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 chubby little baby.
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 the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little 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 kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee four by four.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee five by five.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee six by six.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee seven by seven.
Seven for the angels in Heaven.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee eight by eight.
Eight for the gifts we're bringing.
Seven for the angels in Heaven.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee nine by nine.
Nine for the church bells ringing.
Eight for the gifts we're bringing.
Seven for the angels in Heaven.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little 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 choirs singing.
Nine for the church bells ringing.
Eight for the gifts we're bringing.

Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee eleven by eleven.
Eleven for the gospel writers.
Ten for the choirs singing.
Nine for the church bells ringing.
Eight for the gifts we're bringing.
Seven for the angels in Heaven.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children go where I send thee.
How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee twelve by twelve.
Twelve for the twelve apostles.
Eleven for the gospel writers.
Ten for the choirs singing.
Nine for the church bells ringing.
Eight for the gifts we're bringing.
Seven for the angels in Heaven.
Six for the baby walking.
Five for the shepherds watching.
Four for the stars still shining.
Three for the kings with presents.
Two for the mother and the father.
One for the chubby little baby.
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.
