Jimmie Brown the Newsboy |
| I sell the morning papers sir, my name is Jimmy Brown |
| Everybody knows that I’m the newsboy of the town |
| You can hear me yellin', ‽Morning Starâ€, runnin' along the street |
| Got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet |
| Never mind sir how I look, don’t look at me and frown |
| Sell the morning papers sir, my name is Jimmy Brown |
| I’m awful cold and hungry sir my clothes is mighty thin |
| Wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win |
| My father died a drunkard sir, I’ve heard my mother say |
| I am helpin' 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 to sell the Gospel News |
| I sell the morning papers sir |
