Jimmy Brown The Newsboy Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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
