jimmy brown - joan baez lyrics

[male speaking voice]: h*llo, bill. it was awfully nice to get your tape, and we’re trying to reciprocate. couple ‘a tapeworms, so to speak. well, here we are, sitting around the dinner table, but only joanie, and joan, and myself. mimi’s at camp, and pauline is… elsewhere, we’ll tell you more about her later. we have quite a bit of interesting news, for you, but before we do that, i think i’ll let you listen to joanie. here’s joanie

[joan]:
i sell the morning papers sir
my name is jimmy brown
everybody knows that i’m a 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’m 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
