I sell the morning paper, sir
D
My name is Jimmy Brown,
Everybody knows I am,
G
The Newsboy of the town.
G
You will hear me yelling "Morning Star",
D
As I run along the street,
I have no hat up on my head,
G
No shoes upon my feet.

I have no hat up on my head,
C G
No shoes upon my feet
G
I'm awful cold and hungry, sir,
D
My clothes are worn and thin,
I wander 'bout from place to place,
G
My daily bread to win.
G
Never mind, sir, how I look,
D
Don't look at me and frown,
I sell the morning papers, sir,
G
My name is Jimmy Brown.

G
My Father died a drunkard, sir,
D
I've heard my Mother say,
And I am helping Mother, sir,
G
As I journey on my way.
G
Mother always tells me, sir,
D
I've nothing in this world to lose,
I'll get a place in Heaven, sir,
G
To sell the Gospel News.
G
Never mind sir how I look,
D
Don't look at me and frown,
I sell the morning papers, sir,
G
My name is Jimmy Brown.
