[Verse 1]
D
Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a' barkin.
D
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a' knockin.
  G                  A             D             G
I wondered who could be outside in such an awful storm.
  G                                 A            D
And then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms.

[Verse 2]
D
Before I could say a word, she said, "My name is Sandy,
D
And this here is my puppy dog, its name is little Andy."
G               A               D             G
Standing in the bitter cold, in just a ragged dress.
G                               A                D
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said:

[Chorus]
D
"Ain't ya got no gingerbread?
D
Ain't ya got no candy?
D
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy?

[Verse 3]
G                 A
Patty cake and bakersman.
    D         G
My mommy ran away again,
    G                                             A
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do.
A                  A7               D
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you?

[Verse 4]
D
Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill.
D
Can we stay all night?
D
If you don't love us, no one will.
D
I promise we won't cry.
G                A
London bridge is fallin' down.
    D             G
My daddy's drunk again in town,
     G                                             A
And we was all alone and didn't know what we could do.
A                     A7               D
We wondered if you'll let us stay with you?"

[Verse 5]
D                           D
She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven.
D                            D
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.
G                                 A        D
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone.

[Chorus]
D
"Ain't ya got no gingerbread?
D
Ain't ya got no candy?
D
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy?"
