[1] I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy 
Brown
Most everybody knowsÂ…. I am the newsboy of the town
You'll hear me yelling "Morning Star", as I run along 
the street
I have no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet
I have no hat upon my headÂ…no shoes upon my feet

[2] I'm awful cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are torn 
& thin
I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to 
win
Never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown

[cho] I SELL THE MORNING PAPER
SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN

INSTRUMENTAL CHANNEL
[3] My father died a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my 
mother say
And I am helping Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way
Mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in this world 
to lose
I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, to sell the "Gospel 
News"
So, never mind, Sir, how I look, don't look at me and 
frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
[cho] I SELL THE MORNING PAPER
SIR, MY NAME IS JIMMY BROWN
(jimmy brown, jimmy brown, jimmy brown)
