Jimmie Brown the News Boy - Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs/The Foggy Mountain Boys
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 yelling
Morning Star running 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
I wander about from place to place
My daily bread to win
My father died a drunkard sir
I've heard my mother say
I am helping mother sir
As I journey on my way
My mother always tells me sir
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
My name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows
That I'm the newsboy of the town
You can hear me yelling
Morning Star running along the street
Got no hat upon my head
No shoes upon my feet
