Me and little Andy
1.
Late
one cold and stormy night, I heard a dog a-barking.
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door
a-knocking.
G A D G
I wondered who could be outside in such an
awful storm.
A D
And 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!"
G A D G
Standing in the bitter cold in just a
ragged a dress,
A D
then I asked her
to come in, and this is what she said:

"Ain't'cha got no gingerbread? Ain't'cha
got no candy?
Ain't'cha got an
extra bed for me and little Andy?
G A D G
Patty-cake and baker's man, my mommy ran
away again,
A
and we was all
alone and didn't know what else to do –
A7 D
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you?
7.
Giddy-up,
Charlie Horse, c'mon, Chicken Li'l, can we stay all
night?
If you don't love us, no one will, I promise
we won't cry.
G A D G
London bridge is
falling down, my daddy's drunk again in town,
A
and we was all
alone, and didn't know what we could do –
A7 D
we wondered if
you'd let us stay with you?"
9.
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.
G A D G
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with
her gone,
A D
now Sandy and her
puppy dog won't ever be alone.
