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
