Children, Go Where I Send Thee
(Short Version)
Christmas Carol
Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I shall send thee one by one
'cause one was a little, bitty baby
Wrapped in swathing clothing
Lying in a manger
Born, born oh, born in Bethlehem.
Children, go where I send thee,
How shall I send thee?
I shall send thee two by two
Plus two is Paul and Silas
I shall send thee one by one
'cause one is a little, bitty baby
Wrapped in swathing clothing
Lying in a manger
Born, born oh, born in Bethlehem.
