I hear the cottonwoods whispering above Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's my love! The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's my love! Does my darling feel what I feel When she comes near? My heart beats so joyfully you'd think that she could hear! Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of! Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's my love!
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know Tammy! Tammy! Can't let her go! The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low Tammy! Tammy! You love her so! When the night is warm, soft and warm I long for her charms! I'd sing like a violin if she were in my arms Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of! Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
