As performed by Cisco Houston

Appears on:
Children go as I send thee
How will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee one by one
One was the little bitty baby
He was born, born, He was born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two was Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send three three by three
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
He was born, born, He was born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
well ow will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee four by four
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
He was born, born, He was born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee five by five
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
He was born, born, He was born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee six by six
Six was the six that didn't get fixed
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was the little bitty baby
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee seven by seven
Seven was the seven that didn't get to heaven
Six was the six that didn't get fixed
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
How will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee eight by eight
Eight was the eight that stood at the gate
Seven was the seven that didn't get to heaven
Six was the six that never got fixed
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee nine by nine
Nine was the nine that stood in line
Eight was the eight that stood at the gate
Seven was the seven that didn't get to heaven
Six was the six that never got fixed
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
He was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children go as I send thee
Well, how will I send thee
I'm gonna send thee ten by ten
Ten was the ten commandments
Nine was the nine that stood in line
Eight was the eight that stood at the gate
Seven was the seven that didn't get to heaven
Six was the six that never got fixed
Five was the Gospel preachers
Four was the four that stood at the door
Three was the Hebrew children
Two was Paul and Silas
One was a little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in Bethlehem

Of note:

Not his best performance, but certainly not bad. Just that when sung by a voice that means it, it comes off with power, and I don't think Cisco meant it.
