Me And Little Andy    (Listen to sample)

 

      D

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.

 

      D

2.    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:

 

       D

3.    "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

4.    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

5.    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.

 

    "Ain't'cha got no gingerbread? Ain't'cha got no candy?

 

    Ain't'cha got an extra bed for me and little Andy?"
