Go Where I Send Thee Lyrics by Fred Waring, The Pennsylvanians

The Sounds of Christmas

1959

[Verse 1]
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
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
[Verse 2]
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
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
[Verse 3]
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 little-bitty baby
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
[Verse 4]
Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four for the four that stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew Children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the little-bitty baby
Was born, born, born in Bethlehem
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
[Verse 5]
Children, go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee five by five
Five for the Gospel preachers
[Verse 6]
Go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
Well, I'm gonna send thee six by six
Six for the six that never got fixed
[Verse 7]
Go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
Well, I'm gonna send thee seven by seven
Seven for the seven that never went to heaven
[Verse 8]
Go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
I'm gonna send thee eight by eight
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
[Verse 9]
Go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
Well I'm gonna send thee nine by nine
Nine for the nine that dressed so fine
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Seven for the seven that never went to heaven
Six for the six that never got fixed
[Verse 10]
Go where I send thee
How shall I send thee
Well I'm gonna send thee ten by ten (Ten)
Ten for the Ten Commandments (Nine)
Nine for the nine that dressed so fine (Eight)
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate (Seven)
Seven for the seven that never went to heaven (Six)
Six for the six that never got fixed (Five)
Five for the Gospel preachers (Four)
Four for the four that stood at the door (Three)
Three for the Hebrew Children (Two)
Two for Paul and Silas (One)
One for the little-bitty baby
Was born, born
Born in Bethlehem
[Outro]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
