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 darling feel what I feel
When [bad word] near
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear
Wish I knew if he 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
