The Prettiots - 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.
