Smokey River Boys - Jimmy Brown The Newsboy lyrics

rate me

Mac Wiseman & The Smokey River Boys

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

Most everybody knows…. I am the newsboy of the town

You’ll hear me yelling "Morning Star", as I run along the street

I have no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet

I have no hat upon my head…no shoes upon my feet

I'm awful cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are torn & thin

I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win

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

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

I SELL THE MORNING PAPER

SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN

INSTRUMENTAL CHANNEL

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

And I am helping Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way

Mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in this world to lose

I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, to sell the "Gospel News"

So, never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown

I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

I SELL THE MORNING PAPER

SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN

(jimmy brown, jimmy brown, jimmy brown)
