I hear the cotton woods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The old hootie owl hootie hoots to the dove;
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
Does my darling feel what I feel
When she comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully,
You'd think that she could hear!
Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming 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!
