Children Go Where I Send Thee Lyrics - 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? 

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
