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!
