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 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
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
