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 lover feel what i feel

when he comes near?

my heart beats so joyfully

you would 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 dreamin' of!

tammy, tammy, tammy's in love
