I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' 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
