    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?"
