JIMMY BROWN THE NEWSBOY
By: A.P. Carter

Roger Miller, Skeeter Davis
Key: F

This is one song worth finding
On you tube. I heard it on the
Radio. It’s a tremendously sad
Song. The more emotion you can
Work into it the better.

4 4 4 5 6 -6 6 6
I sell the morn-ing pa-pers sir
6 5 6 5 -4 -4
my name is Jim-my Brown

-4 3 3 -3 -4 5 5 -5
Most ev-‘ry-bod-y knows I am
5 5 -4 -3 4 4
the news-boy of the town

5 -4 4 4 5 6 -6 -6 6
You will hear me yell-in’ Morn-ing Star
6 6 5 6 -5 5 -4
As I run a-long the street

-4 3 3 -3 -4 5 5 -5
I have no hat up-on my head
-5 5 -4 -3 -3 4
no shoes up-on my feet

4 4 5 6 -6 -6 6
Nev-er mind sir how I look
6 5 6 -5 5 -4
don’t look at me and frown

4 4 4 5 6 -6 6 6
I sell the morn-ing pa-pers sir
6 5 6 5 -4 -4
my name is Jim-my Brown

5 4 4 5 6 -6 -6 6
I’m aw-ful cold and hun-gry sir
5 5 6 -5 5 -4
my clothes are torn and thin
-4 3 3 3 -3 -4 5 5 -5
I wan-der a-bout from place to place
-5 5 -4 -3 -3 4
my dai-ly bread to win

5 4 4 5 6 -6 -6 6
My fath-er died a drunk-ard sir
5 5 6 -5 5 -4
I’ve heard my moth-er say
-4 3 3 3-3 -4 5 5 -5
and I am help-in’ moth-er sir
6 -5 5 -4 -3 -3 4
as I journ-ey on my way
5-4 4 4 5 6 -6 -6 6
My moth-er al-ways tells me sir
6 5 6 6 -5 -5 5 -4
I’ve noth-ing in the world to lose
-4 3 3 -3 -4 5 5 -5
I’ll get a place in heav-en sir
-5 5 -4 -3 -3 4
to sell the Gos-pel News
