recording of 1957 
from Big Bill Broonzy Sings The Country Blues (Folkways LP FS2326), 
Baby, they diggin' my potatoes, 
Lord, they trampin' on my vine 
Now I've got a special plan now baby, 
Lord, that a-restin' on my mind 
Now, I don't want no cabbage sprouts, 
bring me a solid head 
Suppose they call the wagon . . . , 
I catched him in my bed 
You know they diggin' my potatoes, 
Lord, they trampin' on my vine 
Now my vines is all green, 
'tattoos they all red 
Never found a bruised one, 
till I caught them in my bed 
You know they diggin' my potatoes, 
Lord, they trampin' on my vine 
Now, I've been all around, 
lookin' up and down 
Never found my baby, 
'cause she was layin' in another town 
I know she's diggin' my potatoes, 
Lord, she's trampin' on my vine 
Yes, now I got a special plan now baby, 
Lord, that a-restin' on my mind 
Yes, I've got a special plan now baby, 
Lord, that a-restin' on my mind
