Jimmie Brown, the Newsboy

Jimmie Brown, the Newsboy - The Carter Family

I'm very cold and hungry sir

My clothes are worn and thin

I wander about from place to place

My daily bread I win

But never mind sir how I look

Don't swear at me or frown

I sell the morning papers sir

My name is Jimmy Brown

I sell the morning papers sir

My name is Jimmy Brown

Most everybody knows

I am the newsboy of the town

My father was a drunkard sir

I've heard my mother say

But I am helping mother out

By journeying on the way

I sell the morning papers sir

My name is Jimmy Brown

Most everybody knows

I am the newsboy of the town
