Me And Little Andy

Late one cold and stormy night
I heard a dog barking
Then I thought I heard somebody
At my door knocking
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
His name is Little Andy"
Standing in the bitter cold
In just a ragged dress
When I asked her to come in
This is what she said

Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got a extra bed for me and Little Andy
Pattycake a bakers man
My mamma ran away again
We was all alone and
Didn't know what else to do
I wondered if you'd let us stay with you

Giddy up tiny 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 falling down
My daddy's drunk again in town
We was all alone
And didn't know what else to do
I wondered if you'd let us stay with you

She was just a little girl
No more than six or seven
And late that night as they both slept
God took them both to heaven
God knew Little Andy would be lonesome with her gone
Now Sandy and her puppy dog will never be alone
