The Carter Family – Jimmie Brown The Newsboy (Guitar)

    C                                                  G7
I'm very cold and hungry, sir, my clothes are worn and thin,

  G7                                               C
I wander bout from place to place my daily bread I win;

    C                                                G7
But never mind, sir, how I look don't swear at me or frown,

  G7                                             C
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmie Brown.

  C                                              G7
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmie Brown,

     G7                                      C
Most everybody knows I am the newsboy of the town;

   C                                                G7
My father was a drunkard, sir, I've heard my mother say,

    G7                                      C
But I am helping mother as I journey on the way;

  C                                              G7
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is Jimmie Brown,

     G7                                      C
Most everybody knows I am the newsboy of the town;
