You're digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
You're digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I've got that funny feeling
I'm gonna make her mine

Put my head back on my pillow, gotta sleep some more
She's been digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I want my neighbor, baby
Want her all the time
Keep your eyes off my honey, hands behind your back
How many times I gotta tell ya, I don't like you, Jack?
'Cause you're digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I've found a little baby
She's gonna be all mine
Get your bags from the kitchen, hat from the rack
Shut that door behind ya, 'cause you ain't coming back
'Cause you're digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I've got that worried feeling
Can't get you from my mind
Dig!
Heard a rooster crowin', postman at my door
Put my head back on my pillow, gotta sleep some more
She's been digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I want my neighbor, baby
Want her all the time
Keep your eyes off my honey, hands behind your back
How many times I gotta tell ya, I don't like you, Jack?
'Cause you're digging my potatoes
Tramplin' on my vine
I've found a little baby
She's gonna be all mine
