Tammy

This song came from the movie Tammy and the Bachelor. It became an instant hit of the year. It tells of Tammy, played by Debbie Reynolds, falling in love with Leslie Neilson who plays Peter Brent in the movie. Movie also stars Walter Brennen and Fay Wray. Great classic movie of a young girl in love. The song earned Reynolds a gold record in 1957.

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"
