Les paroles de la chanson
« Tammy »
Sam Cooke

I hear the cottonwoods whisp’rin’ above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy’s in love
The ole 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!
