Diggin' My Potatoes                                        Big Bill Broonzy


He's been diggin' my potatoes,
Lord, a-crampin' on my farm,
Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,
Lord, got it restin' on my mind.

Oh, she powdered her face,
Water waved her hair,
She caught a taxi, can now she's
Out crosstown somewhere.

I know she's diggin' my potatoes,
Lord, Lord, she's crampin' on my farm,
Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,
Lord, got it restin' on my mind.

Oh, my farm is all green,
'Tatoes the only red,
I've never found a ruse until I
Caught him in my bed.

You know he's diggin' my potatoes,
Lord, Lord, he's crampin' on my farm,
Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,
Lord, got it restin' on my mind.

I've been all around,
Lookin up and down,
Lookin for my baby,
Lord, now I know she's in his town.

I know she's diggin' my potatoes,
Lord, Lord, she's crampin' on my farm,
Yes, I've got a special plan now, baby,
Lord, got it restin' on my mind.
