Lyrics:

Written for the 1957 film Tammy and the Bachelor, this song topped all U.S. charts, was certified gold, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song.I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
'Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love'
The old 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 murmurin' 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 dreamin' of
'Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love'
