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
-
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
-
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
