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
