Digging My Potatoes

Somebody's diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

I tipped up to my window, wished I had a gun
My vine dropped all around its back and that cat was gone

Some boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Tipped up to my 'tato patch gate, and the gate was latched
Looked around, there was a holy ghost
Breeze comin' out of my 'tato patch

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Tipped up to my window, couldn't see nothin' but some vines
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "Good God, I heard a whine!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Tipped up to my window, everybody was drinkin' scotch
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "Oh, daddy
This is somethin' you've got to watch!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Tipped up to my window, everybody was drinkin' beer
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "
Oh, daddy, so damn glad you're here!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Tipped up to my window, everybody was drinkin' gin
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "Oh
Daddy, where in the goddamn hell you been?"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind
Dig 'em!

Somebody's diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

I tipped up to my window, had to hit on some wood
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "
Oh, daddy, it sure is gettin' good!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

I tipped up to my window, had to hit on the door
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "
Go on, baby, come back and get some more!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind
Last verse

Tipped up to my window, couldn't see nothin' but a little wiggle
Not a word, I heard somebody say, "Oh
Daddy, you got on a Frank Ziegler!"

Boy is diggin' my potatoes, trampin' on my vine
I had a dirty feelin' restin' on my mind

Man, I played that for them folks, and
"Looky here, Ledbetter, play that again."
I said, "No, man, no more tonight, no more."
"Looky here, we'll give you a hundred
Dollars if you just play it one more time."
