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.
