Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee?
Well I’m going to send thee one by one
One for the iddy, biddy, baby that’s born, born, born,
born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee?
Well I’m going to send thee two by two
Two for the Paul and Silas
One for the iddy, biddy, baby that’s born, born, born,
born, born in Bethlehem
Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee?
Well I’m going to send thee three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for the Paul and Silas
One for the iddy, biddy, baby that’s born, born, born,
born, born in Bethlehem
Four for the four that stood at the door
Five for the five that got out alive
Six for the six that never had a fix
Seven for the seven that never got to Heaven
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Nine for the nine that dressed so fine
Ten for the ten commandments
