Tammy

(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)



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...
