I hear the cottonwoods
Whispering 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 lover feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You would 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!
Tammy's in love!
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!
Oh Tammy, Tammy,
Tammy's in love
