I [C]sell the morning []paper, sir, my []name is Jimmie [G]Brown.
 [G]Every-body []knows I’m the []newsboy of the [C]town.
You can [C]hear me holler "[]Morning Star" []running along the [G]street.
I [G]got no hat []upon my head, nor []shoes upon my [C]feet.

 [C]Never mind, sir, []how I look, don't you []look at me and [G]frown.   
I [G]sell the morning []paper sir, my []name is Jimmie [C]Brown.  
Well I'm [C]awful pour and []hungry sir, my []clothes is mighty [G]thin
I [G]wander about from []place to place, my []daily bread to [C]win,

My [C]father died a []drunkard sir, I've []heard my mother [G]say.
I’m [G]helping dear []mother, as I []journey on my [C]way.
My [C]mother always []tells me sir, I've []nothin' in the world to [G]lose.
I'll [G]get a place in []Heaven sir, to []sell the Gospel [C]News.
