Lyrics
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," running along the street
I got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
Never mind, sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
My daddy died a drunkard, sir, I've heard my mother say
I am helping mother, sir, as I journey on my way
I'm awful cold and hungry, sir, my clothes are worn and thin
I wander about from place to place, my daily bread to win
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 paper, sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling "Morning Star," running along the street
I got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling "Morning Star," running along the street
I got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
Never mind, sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
My daddy died a drunkard, sir, I've heard my mother say
I am helping mother, sir, as I journey on my way
I'm awful cold and hungry, sir, my clothes are worn and thin
I wander about from place to place, my daily bread to win
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 paper, sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling "Morning Star," running along the street
I got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
