0:11I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
0:16Everybody knows that I am the best newsboy in town
0:20You could hear me yelling Morning Star runnin' along the street
0:25I've got no hat upon my head no shoes upon my feet
0:30Never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown
0:34I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
0:59I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes are mighty thin
1:04I wander about from place to place my daily bread to win
1:08My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say
1:13And I am helping mother sir as I journey on my way
1:18My mother always tells me sir well don't you feel so blue
1:23You'll get a place in heaven son to sell the Gospel News
1:54I sell the morning papers sir
I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown Everybody knows that I am the best newsboy in town You could hear me yelling Morning Star runnin' along the street I've 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 papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes are 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 And I am helping mother sir as I journey on my way My mother always tells me sir well don't you feel so blue You'll get a place in heaven son to sell the Gospel News I sell the morning papers sir
