Newsboy Jimmy Brown

    I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmy Brown
    everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
    you can hear me yelling the morning star
    running along the street
    I got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet

  1. I never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown
    I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmy Brown
    I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes is might thin
    and I wonder about from place to place
    my daily bread to win

    I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmy Brown
    everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
    you can hear me yelling the morning star
    running along the street
    I got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet

  2. My father died a drunkard sir I heard my mother say
    and I am selling papers sir to help along the way
    and my mother always tells me sir
    there's nothing in this world to lose
    I'll get a place in Heaven sir to sell the gospel news

    I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmy Brown
    everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
    you can hear me yelling the morning star
    running along the street
    I got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet
