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 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 you got no gingerbread? Ain't you got no candy? Ain't you got an extra bed For me and Little Andy? Pattycake, a baker's man My momma ran away again We was all alone and didn't know what else to do Wondered if you'd let us stay with you Giddy-up tiny horse goin 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 Wondered if you'd let us stay with you" She was just a little girl No more than six or seven 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.
