I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love The old 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 murmurin' 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 do what I'm dreamin' of Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
