My sweetheart has gone And I'm so lonely She said that she and I were through So I started out drinkin' for past time Drivin' nails in my coffin over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' these nails over you Ever since the day That we've parted I've been so sad and so blue I'm always thinking 'bout you love And I just can't quit Drinking that old booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' these nails over you You turned me down Now you don't want me There's nothing now I can lose I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin And worryin' my darlin' over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' these nails over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Everytime I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' these nails over you Yes I'm drivin' these nails over you
