sonnerie téléphone portable pour Jimmy brown the newsboy

I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is jimmy brown
Everybody knows that i'm the newsboy of the town

You can hear me yelling, "morning star", as i run along the street
I've got no hat upon my head, no shoes upon my feet

I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is jimmy brown
Everybody knows that i'm the newsboy of the town

Never mind, sir, how i look, don't look at me and frown
I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is jimmy brown
I'm awful cold and hungry, sir, my clothes are mighty thin
I wander 'bout from place to place, my daily bread to win

I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is jimmy brown
Everybody knows that i'm the newsboy of the town

My father was a drunkard, sir, i've heard my mother say
And i am helping my mother, sir, as i journey on my way
My mother always tells me, sir, i've nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in heaven, sir, selling the gospel news

I sell the morning paper, sir, my name is jimmy brown
Everybody knows that i'm the newsboy of the town
