Lyrics
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
Children, how shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee three by three
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
Children, how shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four by four that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was 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 by the five it couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was 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 by the six that couldn't get fixed
Five by the five couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was 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 by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by the three for the Hebrew children
Two by two for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee
Children, how shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee eight by eight
Eight by eight that stood at the gate
Seven by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by the three for the Hebrew children
Two by two for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Oh, children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee nine by nine
Nine by nine that dress so fine
Eight by eight that stood at the gate
Seven by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by for the Hebrew children
Two by for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Now, children go where I send thee
Children, how shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee ten by ten
Ten by ten that couldn't get ahead
Nine by nine that dress so fine
Eight by eight that stood at the gate
Seven by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by for the Hebrew children
Two by for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Oh, children go where I send thee
Children, how shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee eleven by eleven
Eleven by eleven that couldn't get to heaven
Ten by ten that couldn't get ahead
Nine by nine that dress so fine
Eight by eight that stood at the gate
Seven by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by for the Hebrew children
Two by for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
One more time
Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee twelve by twelve
Twelve by twelve that couldn't get help
Eleven by eleven that couldn't get to heaven
Ten by ten that couldn't get ahead
Nine by nine that dress so fine
Eight by eight that stood at the gate
Seven by seven that went on to heaven
Six by the six, couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the four that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem
