Jimmy Brown The Newsboy Songtext
[1] I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Most everybody knows.... I am the newsboy of the town

You'll hear me yelling "Morning Star", as I run along the street
I have no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
I have no hat upon my head...no shoes upon my feet


[2] I'm awful cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are torn & thin
I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win
Never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown


[cho] I SELL THE MORNING PAPER
SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN


INSTRUMENTAL CHANNEL

[3] My father died a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my mother say
And I am helping Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way
Mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in this world to lose
I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, to sell the "Gospel News"

So, never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

[cho] I SELL THE MORNING PAPER
SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN
(jimmy brown, jimmy brown, jimmy brown)
