I hear the cottonwoods whisp'rin' above Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love The ole 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
