Lead Belly – Diggin’ My Potatoes Lyrics

Somebody's diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
I have the fishy feeling
Restin' on my mind

I tipped up to my window
Thought I heard a moan
After a while I heard somebody say "Ho!"
Good God, somebody's got it home

Boy, he's diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
I have the fishy feeling
Restin' on my mind

I tipped up to my window
Couldn't see him 'cause them vines
After a while I heard somebody say "Ho!"
Good God, I heard him whine

Boy, he's diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
I have the fishy feeling
Restin' on my mind

Well, I wanna tell you, miss (Uh-huh)
Leave my girl alone (Uh-huh)
Ain't nothing in the street
She can't find at home

But you're diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
Well, I have a special plan
Restin' on my mind

Well, my vines was all green
My potatoes red
Thought you were my friend
'Til I caught you in my bed

But you was diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
Well, I have a special thing
Restin' on my mind
(Take me now)

I tipped up to my window
Thought I heard a moan
After a while I heard somebody say "Ho!"
Good God, I got to go

Boy, he's diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vine
I have the fishy feeling
Restin' on my mind

Restin' on my mind
Restin' on my mind
