Me and Little Andy

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a-barkin'

Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a-knockin'

I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm

Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms

Before I could say a word she said, "My name is Sandy

And this here is my puppy dog, its name is little Andy"

Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress

Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said

Ain't ya got no gingerbread

Ain't ya got no candy

Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy

Patty cake, a baker's man

My mommy ran away again

And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do

I wonder if you'll let us stay with you

Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill

Can we stay all night

If you don't love us no one will

I promise we won't cry

London bridge is fallin' down

My daddy's drunk again in town

And we was all alone and didn't what we could do

We wondered if you'll let us stay with you

She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven

But that night as they slept, the angels took them both to heaven

God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone

Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone

Ain't ya got no gingerbread

Ain't ya got no candy

Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy
