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 iddy biddy 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 iddy biddy 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 three by three

Three for the hebrew children

Two for paul and silas

One for the iddy biddy 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 iddy biddy 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 five by five

Five for the gospel preachers

Four for the four knocking at my door

Three for the hebrew children

Two for paul and silas

One for the iddy biddy baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

And lying in a manger

He was born, born, born in bethlehem
