Jimmie Brown the Newsboy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(G)I sell the morning paper sir

My name is Jimmie(D7)Brown

Everybody knows me

I'm the newsboy of the(G)town

You can hear me yelling "Morning Star"

Running along the(D7)street

Got no hat upon my head

No shoes upon my(G)feet

Never mind sir how I look

Don't look at me and (D7)frown

I sell the morning paper sir

My name is Jimmie(D7)Brown

I'm awful cold and hungry sir

My clothes is mighty(D7)thin

Wander about from place to place

My daily bread to(G)win

My father died a drunkard sir

I've heard my mother(D7)say

I am helping mother sir

As I journey on my(G)way

My mother always tells me sir

I've nothing in the world to(D7lose

I'll get a place in heaven sir

To sell the gospel(G)news
