Earl Scruggs - Jimmy Brown the Newsboy lyrics

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 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 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 I sell the morning papers sir
