Children, Go Where I Send Thee

(With June Carter Cash)

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

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

Children, go where I send thee, children
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four by the poor that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born
Born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee five by five
Five by the five, couldn't get by
Four by the poor that stood at the door
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee six by six
Six by the six that couldn't get fixed
Five by the five that couldn't get by
Four by the poor that stood at the door
Three by the Hebrew children
Two by Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born
Born in Bethlehem

Six by the six
Couldn't get fixed
Five by the five
That couldn't get by
Four by the poor
That stood at the door
Three by three
For the Hebrew children
Two by two for Paul and Silas
One by the little bitty baby
Who was born, born
Born in Bethlehem

Who was born, born
Born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was born, born
Born in Bethlehem
