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
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
