Dolly Parton

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a' barkin,
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a' knockin,
I wondered who could be outdide 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't ya got no gingerbread,
Ain't ya got no candy,
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy,
Patty cake and bakersman,
My mommy ran away again,
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do,
I wonder if you'll 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 fallin' down,
My daddy's drunk again in town,
And we was all alone and didn't what we could do,
I wonder if you'll 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't ya got no gingerbread,
Ain't ya got no candy,
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little, Andy
