I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy´s in love!
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo´s to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy´s in love!
Does my darling 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 dreaming 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!
