I hear the cottonwoods whispering above,
Tammy... Tammy... Tammy's in love
The ole hooty-owl hooty-hoos 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
