Jane, Jane, my lovely love
I´m gonna buy, three pretty little birds
One for her whistle, one for her singing
One for her to do most anything
Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee?

Hey hey, my lovely love

Well, I´m gonna send thee three by three
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the itty bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey, hey, my lovely love
I´m gonna buy, three hunting dogs
One for the kill, one for the shall
One for to talk to, when i go out
Children go where I send thee, where shall I send thee?
Hey hey, my lovely love

Well, I´m gonna send thee six by six
Six for the six who never got fixed

Five for the five who stayed alive
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the itty bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey, hey I hope you know
I´m gonna buy three merry cows
One for the milk, one for the ???
One for the breakfast on Christmas morning
Children go where I send thee, how shall I send thee?
Hey hey I hope you know

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 got to heaven
Six for the six that never got fixed
Five for the five who stayed alive
Four for the four who stood at the door
Three for the Hebrew Children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the itty bitty baby
Born, born, born in Bethlehem

Hey hey, my lovely love

One for the beak, one for the ???
One for the breakfast, I am gone
