    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,
                                                          A                       D
    then I asked her to come in, and this is what she said:

     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.
    "Ain't'cha got no gingerbread? Ain't'cha got no candy?
    Ain't'cha got an extra bed for me and little Andy?"
