Children Go Where I Send Thee - Natalie Merchant

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee

Well I'm gonna

Send thee one by one

One for the little

Bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Lying in a manger

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee

Well I'm gonna

Send thee two by two

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little

Bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Lying in a manger

He was 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 Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Lying in a manger

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

Children go

Where I send thee

How shall I send thee

Well I'm gonna send thee

Four by four

Four for the four

Knocking at my door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little

Bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

And lying in a manger

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee

How shall I send thee

Well I'm gonna send thee

Five by five

Five for the five

The gospel preachers

Four for the four

Knocking at my door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little

Bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

And lying in a manger

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

He was born born

Born in Bethlehem

One more time

Born in Bethlehem
