Hey Hey (Jane, Jane), my Lord and Lord (Jane, Jane)
|
I'm a gonna buy (Jane, Jane), three mockin' birds (Jane, Jane)
|
One for to whistle (Jane, Jane), one for to sing (Jane, Jane)
|
One for to do (Jane, Jane) most any little thing (Jane, Jane)
|
|
Chorus:
|
Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee
|
Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord
|
|
Well I'm gonna send thee three by three
|
Three for the Hebrew Children
|
Two for the Paul and Silas
|
One for the little-bitty baby
|
That's born, born, born in Bethlehem
|
|
Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord
|
I'm a gonna buy three hunting dogs
|
One for to run, one for to shout,
|
One for to talk to when I go out
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Well I'm gonna send thee six by six,
|
Six for the six that never got fixed
|
Five for the five that stayed alive
|
Four for the four that stood at the door
|
Three for the Hebrew Children
|
Two for the Paul and Silas
|
One for the little-bitty baby
|
That's born, born, born in Bethlehem
|
|
Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord
|
I'm gonna buy three muley cows
|
One for to milk,
|
One to plow my corn
|
One for to pray on Christmas morn
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
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 came from heaven
|
Six for the six that never got fixed
|
Five for the five that stayed alive
|
Four for the four that stood at the door
|
Three for the Hebrew Children
|
Two for the Paul and Silas
|
One for the little-bitty baby
|
That's born, born, born in Bethlehem
|
|
Hey Hey, my Lord and Lord,
|
I'm a-gonna buy three little blue birds
|
One for to weep,
|
One for to mourn,
|
One for to pray when I am gone.
