Lyrics Jane, Jane - Peter, Paul and Mary

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

Children, go where I send these, how shall I send these?
Hey, hey, my Lord and Lord

Well I'm gonna send these 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, hey my Lord and Lord, I'm a gonna buy three hunting dogs
One for to run, one for to shout
One to talk to when I go out

Children, go where I send these, how shall I send these?
Hey, hey, my Lord and Lord

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, 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'

Children go where I send these, how shall I send these?
Hey, hey, my Lord and Lord

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 (Jane, Jane), my Lord and Lord (Jane, Jane)
I'm gonna buy (Jane, Jane) three little blue birds (Jane, Jane)
One for to weep (Jane, Jane)
One for to mourn (Jane, Jane)
One for to pray (Jane, Jane) when I am gone
