My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely He said that he and I were through I started out drinkin' for pastime Drivin' nails in my coffin over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' those nails over you Ever since the day that we parted I've been so sad and so blue I'm always thinkin' of you, love And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' those nails over you You turned me down, you don't want me There's nothin' now I can loose I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin And worryin', my darlin', over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' those nails over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Drivin' those nails over you Yes, I'm drivin' those nails over you
