Jimmie Brown The Newsboy

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
