Had to make sure I wasn't crazy...

Every person I have mentioned this song to, says they've never heard it. Well I know that Ms lane's chorus class knows it well, but I was starting to think I made it up. Finally I googled it, and here it is people, so stop saying you don't know what I'm talking about!


"Children, Go Where I Send Thee"

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
born, born, born in Bethlehem.

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
born, born, born in Bethlehem.

(Repeat in decending order:)

Three for the Hebrew children... 

Four for the four that stood at the door... 

Five for the gospel preachers... 

Six for the six that never got fixed... 

Seven for the seven that never got to heaven... 

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate... 

Nine for the nine all dressed so fine... 

Ten for the ten commandments... 

Eleven for the eleven deriders... 

Twelve for the twelve Apostles...



And what is a derider? I mean, there's at least 11 of em...

never heard of that song

deride is a verb. you know how you "ride" on someone is to make fun of them? where do you think black people got it from? it means to make fun of or ridicule.
