I sell the morn-ing pa-pers sir
my name is Jim-my Brown
Most ev-'ry-bod-y knows I am
the news-boy of the town
You will hear me yell-in' Morn-ing Star
As I run a-long the street
I have no hat up-on my head
no shoes up-on my feet
Nev-er mind sir how I look
don't look at me and frown
I sell the morn-ing pa-pers sir
my name is Jim-my Brown
I'm aw-ful cold and hun-gry sir
my clothes are torn and thin
I wan-der a-bout from place to place
my dai-ly bread to win
My fath-er died a drunk-ard sir
I've heard my moth-er say
and I am help-in' moth-er sir
as I journ-ey on my way
My moth-er al-ways tells me sir
I've noth-ing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in heav-en sir
to sell the Gos-pel News
