Lonnie Donegan Jimmy Brown The Newsboy
sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown Most ev'rybody knows I am the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling "Morning Star", walking on the street Got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmy Brown Most ev'rybody knows I am the newsboy of the town
Im very cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are worn and thin I wander about from place to place, my daily bread I win
Don't never mind, Sir, how I look, don't swear at me or frown I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
My Father died a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my Mother say I am helping Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown Most ev'rybody knows me I am the newsboy of the town
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 Most ev'rybody knows me I am the newsboy of the town
