I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above "Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love" The ole Hooty owl hooty-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 Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, 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
