Lyrics Me and Little Andy - Dolly Parton

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 you got an extra bed for me and little Andy?
Patty cake and bakersman, 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 falling down
My daddy’s drunk again in town
And we was all alone and didn’t what we could do
We wondered if you’d 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 you got an extra bed for me and little Andy?»
