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 two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the Little Bitty Baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

...Three for the Hebrew children

...Four for the four who stood at the door

...Five for the Gospel preachers

...Six for the jars where the wine was mixed

...Seven for the seven who came from Heaven

...Eight for the eight who sealed their fate

...Nine for the ninety-nine in line

...Ten for the ten commandments

...Eleven for the eleven who went to Heaven

...Twelve for the twelve Apostles

-or-

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 two by two
Two for Paul and - Silas
One for the Little Bitty Baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Three for the Hebrew children...

Four for the four that stood at the door...

Five for the gospel preachers...

Six for the six that never got fixed...

Seven for the seven that never got to heaven...

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate...

Nine for the nine all dressed so fine...

Ten for the ten commandments...

Eleven for the eleven deriders...

Twelve for the twelve Apostles...

As with all Traditional Spirituals, this song has varied versions. Hope this helps.
