Jimmy Brown The Newsboy Lyrics

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
