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
