The morning paper

These are the songs we sung-

Jimmy Brown the Newsboy

This quaintly sentimental song becaome popular some thiry years ago throung the Carter Family recordings. i.e. 1930's

"I sell the morning paper, sir,

My name is Jimmy Brown.

Everybody knows that I'm

A news boy of the town.

You can heqar 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.

I sell the morning paper, sir,

My name is Jimmy Brown.

I'm awful cold and hungry, sir,

My clothes is mighty thin.

I wander 'bout from place to place.

My daily bread to win.

My father died a drunkard, sir,

I hear my mother say.

I am helping mother, sir,

As I journey on my way.

My mother always tell me sir,

Nothing in the world to do.

I'll get a place in heaven, sir

To sell the gospel news.
