I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmie Brown
Everybody knows that I’m the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling mornin’ star running along the street
Got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet

Never mind sir how I look don’t look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmie Brown
I’m awful cold and hungry sir my clothes is 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
I am helping 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 to sell the gospel news

I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmie Brown
Everybody knows that I’m the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling mornings star running along the street
Got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet
