雖然我對桃莉羊的接觸蠻晚的，但她對我來說已經算是神的等級的崇仰對象，音樂是最根本的因素，她的故事、談吐、態度也給我很正面的啟示。

Me and Little Andy是一首很駭人的歌，無論故事內容和Dolly用聲音扮演其中小女孩的角色，真是太畸形了!!!我第一次聽到還無法確認小女孩的聲音是出自桃莉羊本人，雖然Dolly的聲音的質地向來是以嬌嫩著稱，但小女孩的語調揣摩得相當傳神。不過這首歌故事的發展對我來講有點離奇，沒有捕捉到特別的寓意，歌曲尾聲很想大吼：為什麼阿！

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 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'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, a Baker's Man, My Mommy Ran Away Again.
We Was All Alone and Didn't Know What Else to Do,
I Wondered If You'd Let Us Stay With You.

Giddyup Charlie 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.
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.
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."
