Tammy Songtext
von Sam Cooke

I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy′s my love!
The old hootie owl, hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy′s my love!

Does my darling feel what I feel
When she comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that she could hear!


Wish I knew if she knew what I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy′s my love!

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy! Tammy! Can′t let her go!
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy! You love her so!

When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for her charms!
I'd sing like a violin
If she were in my arms


Wish I knew if she knew what I′m dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's my love!
