Children Go Where I Send Thee

Hall And Oates · Other Songs - Hall And Oates

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 descending 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...

Children Go Where I Send Thee

Released by Hall & Oates, this track exemplifies the duo's signature blend of soulful R&B and polished pop production that defined their career. While often associated with their later television work, the song reflects the band's enduring ability to craft melodic hooks with emotional depth. The recording showcases the interplay between Daryl Hall's smooth vocals and John Oates' rhythmic guitar work, hallmarks of their catalog from the late 1970s through the 1990s. It stands as a testament to their versatility, bridging the gap between their early funk-influenced hits and their mainstream pop success, remaining a staple in their live performances and essential discography.
