Kenny Rogers - Children, Go Where I Send Thee Lyrics

Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty - baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for Paul and - Silas
One for the little bitty - baby
Born of the virgin Mary
Born, born, born in Bethlehem.

[Repeat in descending order:]
Three for the Hebrew children...

Four for the four that stood at the door...

Five for the gospel preachers...

Six for the six that couldn't get fixed...

Seven for the seven that couldn't get to heaven...

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate...

Nine for the nine all dressed so fine...

Ten for the ten commandments...

Eleven for the eleven deriders...

Twelve for the twelve Apostles...
