I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above,
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
The ole hooty-owl hooty-hoos to the dove,
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
Does my lover feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully,
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreamin' of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy ... Tammy ... can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy ... Tammy ... you love him so
When the night is warm,
Soft and warm,
I long for his charms
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms.
Wish I knew if he knew
What I'm dreaming of
Tammy ... Tammy ... Tammy's in love
