Jane, Jane Lyrics - Peter, Paul & 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 (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.
