Jimmie Brown, the Newsboy

[Chorus]
I sell the morning paper
Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Most everybody knows
I am the newsboy of the town

[Verse 1]
You can hear me yelling "Morning Star"
Walking on the street
Got no hat upon my head
No shoes upon my feet

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I'm very cold and hungry
Sir, my clothes are worn and thin
I wander about from place to place
My daily bread I win
Don't never mind
Sir, how I look, don't swear at me or frown
I sell the morning paper
Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
My Father died a drunkard
Sir, I've heard my Mother say
I am helping Mother
Sir, as I journey on my way

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My Mother always tells me
Sir, I've nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in Heaven
Sir, to sell the Gospel News

[Chorus]
