I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy tammy tammy's in love
The ole whootie owl whootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy oh tammy tammy's in love

Does my darling 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 dreaming of
Tammy tammy tammy's in love

(whipporwill whipporwill 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
