Jimmy Brown The Newsboy Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown 

Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town 

You can hear me yellin' Morning Star runnin' along the street 

Got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet 

[ ac.guitar ] 

Never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown 

Sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown 

I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes is mighty thin 

Wander bout from place to place my daily bread to win 

[ ac.guitar ] 

My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say 

I am helpin' 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 

[ ac.guitar ] 

I sell the morning papers sir...
