ME AND LITTLE ANDY
(D. Parton)
Dolly Parton - 1977


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 outdide 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, it's 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 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 fallin' down 
My daddy's drunk again in town 
And we was all alone and didn't know what we could do 
I wonder 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 (whispers) Andy
