Jimmy Brown The Newsboy

 

Key <G> Earl capos up for C shapes

Lonnie Donegan does it in <A>

 

<instrumental>

 

I sell the morning paper 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

 

<instrumental>

 

Never mind sir how I look don't look at me and frown

I sell the morning paper sir my name is Jimmy Brown

I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes is mighty thin

Wonder about from place to place my daily bread to win

 

<instrumental>

 

My father died a drunker sir heard my mother say

I am helping mother sir journey on my way

My mother always tells me sir nothing in the world to lose

I'll get a place in heaven sir sell the gospel news

 

<instrumental>

 

I sell the morning paper sir...(out)
