Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
Oh 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 will I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee
How will I send thee?
Oh I'm gonna send thee three by three
Cuz three for 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
How shall I send thee?
Oh I'm gonna send thee four by four
Cuz the four was the four that stood at the door
Three for 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
How shall I send thee?
Ten by ten, cuz the ten was the ten commandments
Nine was the nine who stood in the line
Eight was the the eight who waited at the gate
Seven was the seven who never got to heaven
Six was the six who didn't get fixed
Five was the 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 for the little bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

One was the itty bitty baby
Two was the Paul and Silas
Three was the Hebrew children
Four was the four that stood at the door
Five was the that come back alive
Six was the six who didn't get fixed
Seven was the seven who never got to heaven
Eight was the the eight who waited at the gate
Nine was the nine who stood in the line
Ten was the ten commandments"
