Jimmy Brown The Newsboy lyrics
Song information
Artist: Roger Miller Album: The Country Side
Lyrics
I sell the morning papers sir My name is jimmy brown Everybody knows that i|'m a newsboy of the town
You will hear me yelling "morning star" As I run along the street I have no hat upon my head No shoes upon my feet
Never mind sir how I look Don't look at me and frown I sell the morning papers sir My name is jimmy brown
I'm awful cold and hungry sir My clothes are torn and thin I wander 'bout from place to place My daily bread to win
My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say I'm helping mother sir As I journey on my way
My mother always tells me sir There's nothing in the world to lose I'll get a place in heaven sir To sell the gospel news
