Children Go Where I Send Thee

(الألبوم: The Lion Sleeps Tonight - 1961)

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm-a-gonna send you one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm-a-gonna send you two by two
Two for the Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm-a-gonna send you three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for the Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm-a-gonna send you ten by ten
Ten for the Ten Commandments
Nine for the nine that were so fine
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven who never got to heaven
Six for the six that never got fixed
Five for the gospel preachers
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for the Paul and Silas
One for the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Born in Bethlehem
