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
