I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I am the best newsboy in town
You could hear me yelling Morning Star runnin' along the street
I've got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/george+hamilton+iv/jimmy+brown+the+newsboy_20580317.html ]
Never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
[ ac.guitar ]
I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes are mighty thin
I wander about from place to place my daily bread to win
My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say
And I am helping mother sir as I journey on my way
My mother always tells me sir well don't you feel so blue
You'll get a place in heaven son to sell the Gospel News
[ ac.guitar ]
I sell the morning papers sir...
