G
I sell the morning paper sir

                  D7
My name is Jimmie Brown

Everybody knows me

                       G
I'm the newsboy of the town

You can hear me yelling "Morning Star"

                  D7
Running along the street

Got no hat upon my head

                 G
No shoes upon my feet

Never mind sir how I look

                     D7
Don't look at me and frown

I sell the morning paper sir

                  G
My name is Jimmie Brown

I'm awful cold and hungry sir

                     D7
My clothes is mighty thin

Wander about from place to place

                  G
My daily bread to win

My father died a drunkard sir

                     D7
I've heard my mother say

I am helping mother sir

                   G
As I journey on my way

My mother always tells me sir

                             D7
I've nothing in the world to lose

I'll get a place in heaven sir

                   G
To sell the gospel news
