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!
