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 youI'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 youEver 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 boozeI'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 youYou 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 youI'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 youI'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
