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.
D
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,
D
"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?
D
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?"
D
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.
