Reynolds debbie tammy lyrics

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
