Jimmy Brown, The Newsboy
A.P.Carter

I sell the morning papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
Everybody knows that I'm the newsboy of the town
You will hear me yelling "Morning Star" as I run along the street
I have 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 papers sir my name is Jimmy Brown
I'm awful cold and hungry sir my clothes are torn and thin
I wander 'bout from place to place my daily bread to win

My father died a drunkard sir I've heard my mother say
I am helping mother sir as I journey on my way
My mother always tells me sir there's nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in heaven sir to sell the Gospel News

FLATT & SCRUGGS - Greatest Hits

I don't recall a Flatt & Scruggs record ever coming into our house.

"How much is that fleabag in the window ...
the one with the long mangy tail?
How much is that fleabag in the window,
I wonder if that mutt's for sale"
