Dolly Parton- Me and Little Andy

Another wonderful song by Dolly Parton and my favorite song. This is the story of a little girl and her puppy dog.

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a barking. Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a knocking. I 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, 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'cha got no ginger bread?
Ain'cha got no candy?
Ain'cha got an extra bed, for me and Little Andy?
Patty cake a baker's man.
My Mommy ran away again,
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do.
I wonder if you'd 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 falling down.
My Daddy's drunk again in town.
And we was all alone and didn't know what we could do.
We wondered if you'd 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'cha got no ginger bread?
Ain'cha got no candy?
Ain'cha got an extra bed,
For me and Little Andy?"

I remember when this song was new, on the radio. it always brought a lump to my throat, both for the sorrow of the song, and the beauty of Dolly's voice. thank you for posting this

When I had speech 101, I quoted the lyrics from the song to introduce my speech on child abuse.  It is a very sad song.
