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
