I hope this transcription might help. This album had no info or recording dates, no credits, no nothin' but general comments. What a shame and how irresponsible!) If you ever need lyrics you can't find let me know.

Somebody's diggin' my potatoes
Trampin' on my vines
I have a 'spicious feelin'
Restin' on my mind

I tipped up to her window
Thought I heard her moan
I know how the spuds get old
Good God, shove the gun in home

Boy, he's diggin my potatoes
Trampin' on my vines
I have the strangest feeling
Restin' on my mind
(Restin' on my mind)

I tipped up to the window
Couldn't see 'em for some vine                                    
After while heard somebody get hoed
Good God I heard 'em whine

Boy, he's diggin my potato
Trampin' on my vines
I have a 'specious feeling
Resting on my mind
(Resting on my mind)

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

But your diggin' my potato
Tramplin' on my vine
Well, I have a special plan
Resting on my mind
(Restin' on my mind)

Well, my barn was all green
My potatoes red
Thought you were my friend
If I caught you in my bed

But you diggin' my potato
Trampin' on my vine
Babe, I have a special thing
Restin' on my mind
(Restin' on my mind)

'Play some now'

I tipped up to my window
Thought I heard her moan (yes sir)
I don't wanna hear'd some 'bout yo hoes
Good God, I've got to go

Boy, he's diggin my potato
Hangin' on my vine
I had a 'spicious feelin
Restin' on my mind

Restin' on my mind
(Restin' on my mind)

Restin' on my mind
(Restin' on my mind)
