Lyrics

Traditional

Children go where I send you
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you one by one
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in bethlehem

Children go where I send you
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you two by two
Two for paul and silas
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in bethlehem

Children go where I send you
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you four by four
Four for the poor that stood at the door
Three for the hebrew children
Two for paul and silas
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in bethlehem

Children go where I send you
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you six by six
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the poor that stood at the door
Three for the hebrew children
Two for paul and silas
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in bethlehem

Children go where I send you
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you eight by eight
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven came down from heaven
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed
Five for the gospel preacher
Four for the poor that stood at the door
Three for the hebrew children
Two for paul and silas
One for the little biddy baby, one for the little biddy baby
One for the little biddy baby. he was born, born,.....
He was born in bethlehem
