Children go where I send thee (oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh I'm gonna send thee one by one
'Cause the one was a little bitty baby
Born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee (oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh I'm gonna send thee two by two
'Cause the Two is the Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
Born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee (oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh I'm gonna send thee three by three
'Cause the three was the Hebrew Children
Two was the Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
Born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee (oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh I'm gonna send thee four by four
'Cause the four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew Children
Two was the Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
Was born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee (oh Lordy)
How will I send thee
Oh I'm gonna send thee ten by ten
'Cause the ten was the ten commandments
Nine was the nine that stood in the line
Eight was the eight that waited at the gate
Seven was the seven that never got to heaven
Six was the six that didn't get fixed
Five was the five that come back alive
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew Children
Two was the Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
Born born born in Bethlehem

In Bethlehem
Children born in Bethlehem
