I hear the cottonwoods whisperin'' above "Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!" The ole hootie owl hootie-hoos 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'd think that he could hear!
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreamin' 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
