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 "Morning Star", as I run along the street |
|
I've got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet |
|
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown |
|
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town |
|
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 are mighty thin |
|
I wander 'bout 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 |
|
My father was a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my mother say |
|
And I am helping my Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way |
|
My mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in the world to lose |
|
I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, selling the "Gospel News" |
|
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown |
|
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town |
