Children, Go Where I Send You - Nina Simone

Children go where I send you

How shall I send you?

I’m gonna send you one by one

One for the little biddy baby was born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send you

How shall I send you?

I’m gonna send you two by two

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little biddy baby was born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send you

How shall I send you?

I’m gonna send you four by four

Four for the poor that stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little biddy baby was born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send you

How shall I send you?

I’m gonna send you six by six

Six for the six that couldn’t get fixed

Five for the gospel preacher

Four for the poor that stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little biddy baby was born born born in Bethlehem

Children go where I send you

How shall I send you?

I’m gonna send you eight by eight

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate

Seven for the seven came down from heaven

Six for the six that couldn’t get fixed

Five for the gospel preacher

Four for the poor that stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little biddy baby one for the little biddy baby

One for the little biddy baby He was born born

He was born in Bethlehem
